Crucifixion, Gedling

East window of the chancel at Gedling, consisting of three lancets and a quatrefoil light above. The glass appears to be a fine late work by Henry Holiday c1919 (or could possibly be by Holiday's follower William Glasby). Thus far I can find no documentary confirmation but the bold style of drawing speaks for itself.

 

All Hallows at Gedling (immediately east of Nottingham) is a grand 13th/14th century building with a very tall north west steeple.

 

The interior is spacious and has several features of interest, including a strange 'flattened' effigy of a priest in the chancel, and a fragment of medieval sculpture in the north aisle.

 

There is some good glass in the east window that appears to be a late work of Henry Holiday, whilst the recent glass at the corresponding end of the church makes a more contemporary statement.

 

The church is normally open only on Wednesdays.
