Again, not a ship meant for raiding, but rather pleasure. These were the ornaments on the bow and they lined the entire ship's trim.

Part of the striking contemporary entrance grille to the porch at Chalgrove, installed as part of the recent restoration.
St Mary's at Chalgrove is a real gem, a fine medieval church with an early 13th century nave followed by a 14th century chancel, which is where the real treasure of the church is to be found in a series of remarkably preserved wall paintings. These were hidden under limewash for centuries and give a surprisingly complete vision into the decoration of a medieval interior, their earthy palette mainly consisting of red, ochre and grey (formerly blue or green?).
The church was recently very successfully restored and reordered with new furnishings and lighting to show the ancient murals to greater advantage. Having visited the church previously in 2008 the improvements to the interior were immediately apparent.
More information on the church and its fine wall paintings can be found at the following:-

Scavenge Challenge March 2012 - "3. Ornamental metalwork (scrolls, curlicues, etc.) is the subject."
I spent some time driving around town on Saturday, before coming to the realization that my town is pretty much devoid of "ornamental metalwork".
Thankfully, as I was strolling through my own backyard today, I noticed the Tiki Torch poles.
Trying to get the boys in the shot was a bit of a challenge, as the scrolly bit is about 5 feet high on the pole.
So I sat the boys about 10-12 feet away from the pole, threw on the fill flash as the pole and I were in shadow, took a few steps up the only few steps in the yard, zoomed in, and "Click"!
Interesting that even with them practically abstracted away, I can still tell which is which.
