Door 20
This really is one of my favourite doors…ever. It is a tiny door that accesses the crypt under the magnificent church of St John the Baptist. Behind the door…remember to duck…steps lead down into a vaulted crypt, a quiet and peaceful place that is opened by the Churches Conservation trust (who own and curate the building) from time to time.
The church itself was built into the city walls in the fourteenth century, and although alterations have been made, much of the original character of this building remains.
For me the door holds secrets behind it, secrets that only the curious enjoy.

That door and the wall go together perfectly!

Love it! I saw some doors like this in France. They do seem mysterious.

I can only imagine how old it is, but it is just wonderful. Easy to see why you’d consider it a favourite 🙂

The strange thing is that most people don’t (can’t) even see it.

Awesome door! But the photo where part of the window is seen – the window doesn’t seem to fit the style of the door?

I think behind the metal grate the windows are of a similar period, but with these very old buildings there are often alterations.
