This one particular flower is the bigest I ever got. It was the size of a dinner plate. I just had to show it off. The light was bad and the picture turned out a bit grainy so I decided to do some work on it and show it on black. The next day we had a heavy rain and the flkower got shredded. I am glad I took this when I did.
Traceries of the central window on the north side glazed by the royal glazier John Prudde in 1447 with some of the most luxuriant stained glass available at the time. The angels hold pieces of medieval music manuscript (a design also used in the east window and that most likely also continued into the two westernmost windows of the chapel where sadly only fragments remain today)
The bulk of this glass was tragically lost when the chapel was attacked by Cromwellian troops in 1643 (it is possible the chapel was locked and all this was done from outside as the tombs and statuary survived undamaged). The six side windows were a complete loss below the traceries and have remained plain-glazed ever since, but the surviving figures were used to fill the large gaps left in the east window to give the patchwork display we see today.
The gorgeous Beauchamp Chapel at St Mary's, Warwick is perhaps the best preserved example of a medieval church interior in England. I have been in love with it ever since my first childhood visit, and it remains my favourite room in all England.
The chapel is rich in excellent monuments, of which the tomb of Richard Beauchamp, the chapel's founder, is the most impressive with magnificent gilt bronze sculptures, an extremely rare survival.
Equally spectacular is the delightful east window, which is filled with superb 15th century glass by John Prudde, the King's glazier. Much if it is not in situ, since Cromwell's troops wrought havoc with the glass here and the surviving figures were assembled in this window (only the outer pairs of figures in the upper row are in their original positions). The north and south windows retain original glass only in their traceries and the cusped heads of the main lights, and knowing the quality of the surviving elements makes this loss all the more grievous.
A further treasure of this chapel and a miraculous survivor of Cromwells fanatics is the statuary surrounding the east window. This unique display of almost perfectly preserved figure sculpture from the early 15th century is exquisite, and gives an answer to all those empty niches we see in so many medieval churches elsewhere in England. The medieval splendour is further echoed by the use of colour on the sculptures and vaulted ceiling, all redone in the mid 20th century but based on medieval precedents.
simply beautiful this song .... and so beautiful romantic just indescribably beautiful the song ..

"Angel Mirror" was a custom order - Angel was a design by Bruce Worthington, that I incorporated into this unique ooak walnut framed mirror.
It's an Intarsia-style piece that consists of Black Walnut, Aspen, Curly Maple, Yellowheart, and Ebony and is all natural - no stains or dyes are used on my Intarsia pieces!
It measures 28" tall and includes a precisely cut acrylic mirror.
Great for the hallway, bedroom, bathroom, or even a well-appointed guest room...
This was given as a Christmas present to my client's mother.
Her 'feedback' -
"This angel mirror is gorgeous. Workmanship is incredible!! My Mom loves the mirror, it made the perfect gift. Seller is wonderful to work with and I will be back to shop at her store!"
angels and activists in zürich asked shoppers "how much blood is on your cosmetics?" to mark the launch of the new www.kosmetik-ohne-tierversuche.ch service. the site provides information on which cosmetic products sold in switzerland are really cruelty-free.

“For the Angel of Death spread her wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as she passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!”

This angel is actually a wedding gift from a friend. My friends hoped we would start a tradition by having this on the top of our tree. We were married in 1987.

Angel window in the north aisle by Christopher Whall, c1922.
St Mary Magdalene's at Knighton serves one of the former villages on Leicester's outer fringes that are now more or less incorporated into the suburban sprawl whilst still retaining some of its separate identity. It is set back from the streets in a quiet corner surrounded by greenery, its tall, slender spire announcing its presence above the roofs and trees.
On closer inspection it's immediately clear that this church is a bit more unusual, the medieval building consisted of just nave and chancel with the slim and elegant west tower and spire (which has a medieval statue of its patron saint, in a curiously off-centre niche high up on the eastern face) but had a south aisle added in the Victorian period. Then in the mid 20th century came a rather more dramatic transformation when a new nave was built, between the old church and the Victorian aisle, which necessitated dismantling the latter and rebuilding it further to the south so that the modern nave sits inbetween, largely unnoticed from outside, but very much apparent within. Entry is via the west porch which forms part of this modern enlargement.
Once inside one is confronted by the light and spacious modern nave, culminating in a plain-glazed oriel window at the east end. The south arcade is also modern and separates the short Victorian south aisle that was reassembled here. The nortn arcade however is medieval and divides the old part of the church from the new, the present north aisle having been the nave and chancel of the original church. There is much Victorian glass here, but the really significant piece is the beautiful Arts & Crafts window at the west end with two glorious angels in blue and red. The ancient font also stands close by.
The church isn't normally open outside of services, it had been a familiar sight to me for a few years having lectured the Leicester Stained Glass Appreciation Society (that meet in the parish rooms over the road) on many occasions. On all my visits I'd never found it open so on one occasion one of the group members kindly arranged for someone to come and open the church up for me, but sadly despite their best efforts whoever this keyholder was never showed up. An opening for a previous Ride & Stride day also failed to materialise, but happily this year it was open and a thriving space (people were gathering at the west end and there was a condolence book out in memroy of the Queen who'd died two days earlier). I'm glad to be able to say it was worth the wait to see inside at last.
Have visited this cemetary 20 times and didn't know about this angel 'til I ducked under some trees to get out of the rain.

Detail of a tracery light of the easternmost window on the south side glazed by the royal glazier John Prudde in 1447 with some of the most luxuriant stained glass available at the time (photo taken from scaffolding in 2015 during restoration work on the south side of the chapel). The angels play various medieval musical instruments, a heavenly orchestra to complement the angels singing and holding sheet music in the adjoining windows.
The bulk of this glass was tragically lost when the chapel was attacked by Cromwellian troops in 1643 (it is possible the chapel was locked and all this was done from outside as the tombs and statuary survived undamaged). The six side windows were a complete loss below the traceries and have remained plain-glazed ever since, but the surviving figures were used to fill the large gaps left in the east window to give the patchwork display we see today.
