How has it taken me so long to discover the wonderful glass at St Editha's Tamworth?? Esp liked the fritillaries in this Henry Holiday corner - a nod to Tamworth's Broad Meadow or there for their sorrowful symbolism? #StainedGlassSunday
A mystery for #MemorialMonday - don't suppose anyone can recognise where this is? Calvary cross is the work of Julian Phelps Allan, poss date 1931.
Think I may have solved it (thanks to image search and warandstmartins.com/nugee/) - grave of Rev Francis E Nugee at Shangton, Leicestershire.
Saint George for #StainedGlassSunday, one of Tor Rope's St Augustine Haggerston windows, complete with rebus.
Mary in the most amazing colours (with pink spots!) here in fragments post WW2 (poss Lavers & Barraud according to @HistoricEngland listing). St Mary Mags, Munster Square NW1 #StainedGlassSunday
Autumnal delights at my local box for #PostboxSaturday #Malvern (and do I spy a bonus slug?)
For #FontsOnFriday and forwards into #StainedGlassSunday this is M E A Rope's font in her Virgin Mary window from St Augustine's (now in St Mary Mags Munster Square).
For St Francis's Day today, here he is depicted with his loyal wolf, in #JoyceMeredith 's window for her cousin Frances at St Catherine's Hall (now Quaker Meeting House) and recently rediscovered and restored at @TheCCT St Mary's, Shrewsbury. #StainedGlassSunday
Worth taking the stairs at @LibertyLondon
to check out the #StainedGlassSunday offerings.
So glad I ventured into @WestminsterCath on my route - #FontsOnFriday with bonus mosaic hoopoe (Leonard McComb)!!
On my ultimate entrance hall wishlist - #StainedGlassSunday Davenham House, Great Malvern
Intriguing sets of windows (Clayton & Bell) above the nave of St Hilary's church, Cornwall, the red recording more recent restoration (2004) #StainedGlassSunday
Perfect day to discover the art in St Hilary's church in Cornwall and this bonus window, maker unidentified #StainedGlassSunday
