This is the 12th-century doorway on the south side of St Peter’s church in Thorpe Salvin, South Yorkshire, UK. The Listed Building description (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1314667) says: “excellent C12 south door within has renewed outer shafts and keeled inner shafts to scalloped and crocketed capitals, 3-order round arch deeply-carved with zig-zag, pellet ornament and foiled lobes”. The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture (https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=6990) has even more words, including pointing out a literal quirk. The reconstruction has mangled the columns, for example, which are smooth and round (“renewed”, say both websites linked above). Photos taken October 2023, processed in Meshroom and cleaned up slightly in Meshlab.
