    This is the North door at St Edwards Church, Stow on the Wold, England, and is approximately 700 years old.

    It is locally thought (though is unsubstantiated) that this door and the yews that flank it may have inspired Tolkien with the Doors of Durin.

        Everyone could use some more door lore.

      Nice. I was about to ask what species the trees were.
