Doors within the walls 4 - 22 St. Saviorgate

St. Saviourgate is rich in interesting architecture and has some wonderful doors in the Georgian Terraces. I wish I knew more architectural terminology so that I could be more descriptive about the architecture. I have been looking at the online Probert Encyclopedia which has a complete section devoted to architectural terminology and there is a lot to it.

Points I think are of interest for this address are the foot scraper hole at the bottom left where the metalwork scraper is missing, the glass lights above the door divided into three panes, the concave depression on the vertical capitals framing the door and the decoration on the archtrave picked out in gold.
