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.

That is cool. Door itself is cool. Glass above the door is cool. Trees around the door are cool. This is a top-shelf door.
Care to share where it is?

1 0 ReplyNo, I don't think you did. At least 3 posters in this thread know more about that picture than you do.
3 5 ReplyI'm glad you're so confident. This is the shit I hated about Reddit—combative for absolutely no reason.
As it happens, I did take this picture. Just because I didn't write out a Wikipedia article about it in the title doesn't mean I wasn't there.
Go look at my post history. One of my first posts is about visiting the UK.
