I purchased this trim but have not decided if I am going to install it. The trim is resting in place for the photo. Front Passenger Trim.
The church tower and ruined nave in the grounds of Ettington Park Hotel date back to the 12th century. The rest of the church buildings along with the houses of Ettington village were intentionally demolished in 1795 when the village land was incorporated into the estate of the nearby Ettington Hall (now Ettington Park Hotel), on the orders of the local lord, George Shirley. A new village, Upper Ettington, was built two miles away, together with a new church.
The church tower is not open to the public, as the sign seen here clearly states!

St Michael’s Spurriergate
History
The church dates from the 12th century with elements from the 14th and 15th centuries.
It was reduced in size in 1821 by JB and W Atkinson. The foundation stone of the new wall of the east end was laid by the Rector on 15 January 1821. Work was completed on 16 June 1822.
The tower was lowered between 1966 and 1967. The church closed in 1984 and the building re-opened as a restaurant and cafe in 1989. The conversion retained a small chapel upstairs which is used occasionally for worship.
Clock
The exterior west end of the south wall contains a painted clock face. The clock mechanism inside is inscribed with “Reconstructed by G. J. F. Newey in 1896”.

Once a parish church with a dwindling congregation and few funds, this ancient church was reborn in 1989 as a wonderful atmospheric pace to relax in the heart of York and now offeres people good food, fair trade goods and a listening ear amid the beautiful church features.
The entry doors to the mansion are gilded in 10k gold. There's a guard stationed at the doors throughout the open hours of the museum to deter thieves from stealing flakes of gold from the doors!

This it the entry way to my apartment (or ours rather). I share it with an Australian fellow named Matthew who is burly and friendly and a SUPER shy German guy who goes by Wentzel. Wentzel is leaving in March though, although he really wants to stay in Japan. Apparently they have some kind of work-exchange between Germany and Japan, so he could come and live very cheaply for a year and work in Japan. He's going to try to work out some kind of schooling thing, I think. He's only 19 or 20. Anyway, about our entry way... if you notice the size of my boots, you can see that this entry way isn't very big. The recess in the floor is where you are actually supposed to leave your shoes, and change into slippers. But, you can see that we aren't having that. We just kind of leave them by the door in that general area. I will try to only leave on pair out there at a time though.
