Description

Voussoirs and carvings on arch of west door of St. Mary's, Iffley

Close-up of a part of the arch of the west door of St. Mary's, Iffley. The beak-headed designs on the voussoirs (arch stones) are found on many other examples of Norman architecture in England and in other parts of Europe under Norman rule. The origin of the beak-head design as used in England is probably Reading Abbey, which is now ruined, but examples of beak-head voussoirs from the Abbey can be seen in the Museum of Reading.
