Pixham Lane
Late 19th Century cottages in Pixham Lane - the building in the centre has a plaque "Hope Cottages 1893". (The date is not entirely distinct, but since the building is marked on the 1896 1:2,500 map, 1893 would seem more appropriate the alternative of 1898.) In the left background is Pixham Church.

St Mary's Church, Pixham: tympanum over the entrance
Detail of an early design by Lutyens, dating from about 1900. Lutyens grew up in Surrey and much of his early work in the county shows strong local influence. Here, the materials suggest Italy, while the tympanum (treated rather differently) is typical of Romanesque architecture, especially in France.
The infill between the cross motif and the brick courses is made up of tiles, laid on edge - a very typical Lutyens trick http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2204583. I can't help thinking that Lutyens saw the whole composition as a rising sun - imagery which might be seen as a pagan touch.
For a more general view of the façade see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2986929

St Mary's Church, Pixham: the west front
This building is an early design by Lutyens, dating from circa 1900. Lutyens grew up in Surrey (at Thursley), and many of his early commissions were within the county. Much of his early work was strongly influenced by local traditions, but in the case of Pixham church there is very little to remind you you're in Surrey.
To architectural historians, the semi-circular design over the doorway is a 'tympanum' - a feature often found in Romanesque churches (and in Norman churches in England). Here at Pixham, Lutyens seems to have adapted the tympanum motif to represent a rising sun. See also Image
