Friend and fellow writer Andrea Gilbey sent me a picture from fabulous England:
She tells me this door is from the Victorian portion of the Chapels (former), Bishops College, Churchgate, Cheshunt.
In case you don’t care to follow the above link, here’s a brief quotation from the web site:
Despite its ecclesiastical appearance, particularly the apsidal library, it [Bishops College] did not contain a chapel (bottom right picture). The chapel of the original college are the buildings on the road front dating from 1806 and altered in the later 19th century, now called the Beaufort Suite, having been the council chamber prior to the modern buildings being finished.
And, just in case you didn’t get an earworm from the title, I give you The Divine Miss M, aka Bette Middler.

January 7, 2021 at 4:29pmThat’s a wonderful door, Marian. I like the weathered appearance of the door and the mixed masonry structure.
I didn’t get the earworm initially, so thanks for adding that 😉

January 7, 2021 at 5:32pmSome day, I hope to see that door in person. 🙂

January 8, 2021 at 6:27pmThat’s a beautiful door, Marian. I like the shape of the door and the building materials (brick, glass, iron, wood) all in one shot. I’m visiting from Thursday Doors.

January 9, 2021 at 10:28amHi, Natalie! waves I don’t get to see many cool doors these days — except on other people’s Thursday Doors posts. I still have some leftovers, though, and photos from friends. 🙂
