I love church doors and entrance porches. The church door of St John the Baptist, Tideswell in the Peak District is a real beauty. The door is oak, hand carved with beautiful fluting and studding.
Quam Dilecta is from the second line of Psalm 83;
Quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
An indication of what lay on the other side of the door in the Cathedral of the Peak. The church is well worth a visit with some beautiful Poppy Heads showing the stages of a humans life from birth to death.
