British Isles: Doors of England
During the August, 2025 trip to the British Isles, for the remarkable Dereiko/Concannon Wedding, Margaret and I captured some pictures of doors. Why doors? Take a look and see for yourself, then decide: Do these doors welcome you in? Lock you out? Keep the interior private? Hint at inner secrets? Do they tell stories? Have they captured your imagination? Can you see yourself entering via one of these doors?
Enjoy the English/London/Cotswold connections of outside and inside.…
An ancient door flanked by two gnarled yew trees at St. Edward’s Church in Stow-on-the-Wold, England, is widely rumored to be the inspiration for the Doors of Durin, the western gate of Moria in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.
