Walking around Abingdon, it is easy to pass the town’s front doors without giving them much attention. But some doors do make a bit of a show, like this one at Lock House. It is good to see the wood showing through. On most front doors the wood is painted over.

Here is a much older door where the wood planks also show. It has a mediaeval stone surround and archway.

This doorway has a fanlight, columns and simple decoration typical of the Georgian period.

Some Georgian houses went further. This doorway, with its elaborate surround, columns and triangular pediment is very grand.

Another triangular pediment. Brick this time. By the Victorian period, brick became an important part of doorway surrounds. This doorway made me curious because of the contrast between the inner brickwork and surrounding brickwork.

The doorway also has brickwork and an decorative surround like an archway.

There is much less decoration in this door, but the colour and simple appearance are attractive.

There are lots of doors of interest around the town centre,. They are easy to see as town centre houses often come straight onto the pavement.

I wonder if anybody can identify the ones I have shown here. Extra points if you can identify the one with the mismatching brickwork. It is more out of the way.
