Medieval Gothic Window Creuse France IMG_0142

Mary and The Angel. The Church, in Bourganeuf, rural Creuse, is medieval but the window by Didron of Paris is dated to 1855. Didron was an iconographer, archaeologist and preservationist who founded a factory for gothic revival stained glass in 1849. He was responsible for the spectacular windows of Beauvais Cathedral and also worked in England, providing the beautiful windows at St Mary's in Feltwell, East Anglia. The church at Bourganeuf also contains stained glass by Thevenot.
