St Mary, Totnes, Devon.
South Aisle Memorial Window to Emma Roberts, d1896.
Designed by John William Brown (1842-1928).
Made by Fouracre & Watson, 1898.
Detail.
John William Brown was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and trained as an artist under William Bell Scott, a friend of William Morris. He was employed by Morris & Co and later by James Powell & Sons before he became a freelance designer. He continued to undertake commissions for Powell's up to 1923, but in the later part of his career most of his work was carried out for Henry Holiday.
John Fouracre (1818-1883) established the firm of Fouracre & Son at 29 Chapel Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth in 1866 and by 1871 they employed eight men and four boys. His son, John Thomas Fouracre (1844-1915), was soon involved in stained glass, and the 1873 Directory listed Fouracre & Son as ‘artists in stained glass’. Their first documented windows were completed in the following year.
JT Fouracre was assisted by Henry Watson (1842-1920), from Newcastle upon Tyne, who had previously worked in Exeter as a glass stainer. He joined the firm in time to work on the Plymouth Guildhall commission. In the following year, the firm was renamed Fouracre & Watson, under which name it traded until the 1890s.
Unfortunately, there are no archival sources of records of the firm; one can only presume their important archive, which must have been vast, was lost during the Plymouth Blitz. Sadly, they never signed their windows.
I took this photo in 2006 whilst walking in the grounds of a National Trust property in Devon. The trouble is I cannot remember which property. Killerton? Knightshayes Court? Arlington Court? Somewhere else? My feeling is that it is Killerton but please help! It’s driving me nuts!
Thanks!
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Diptford Devon is a medieval structure originally comprising of a nave, chancel & west tower, the first rector was appointed in 1226, with the 19 year old monarch Henry III as patron.
Whilst the church has its origins in the 13c it was markedly altered in the subsequent 14c by major rebuilding - In 1336 Bishop Grandisson dedicated the high altar which suggests the chancel had been rebuilt .
The result is a mixture of conflicting dating evidence as the rebuilding added new and reused old fabric in their construction. Several parts of the church show styles conflicting between Early English Gothic & Decorated within the same piece adding to the confusion. Such is the mixed evidence that Pevsner declines to date the church, merely describing its main features. English Heritage indicate that a basic nave, chancel & small western tower from the 13c were enhanced in the 14c by the addition of the broach spire to the tower and in the 15c of the aisles. ( the arcades with their octagonal piers and 2-centred arches however seem to be earlier and perhaps part of the early 14c rebuilding)
At least 3 campaigns of Victorian restoration also add to the mix, that of 1840 adding the vestry on the south side of the west tower in the angle with the north aisle.
However in 1848 the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society describes it as "an interesting Decorated church in a state of dilapidation - chancel is destroyed and there is an unsightly vestry on the north west".
Further work occurred in both 1870 & 1908 when the north aisle is said to have been reroofed / repaired and the north wall of the chancel demolished to may room for the organ chamber. .
The 6 bells in the tower were recast in 1822. The clock of 1886 by Gillett and Co of Croydon
The south porch has a sundial inscribed: ":P.W. 1694. T.K.U.
As time and hours passeth away, So doth the life of man decay."
The registers date from 1653.

The 8-bay C15 Rood Screen - detail.
The coving is an early C20 replacement incorporating some medieval carving. The roodscreen paintings are probably the best in the county - conventional dado paintings on the west side and exceptionally fine large demi-figures on the east side and parclose which has 6 square-headed traceried bays.

Devon waterfall is one of the most famous waterfalls of Sri Lanka. The fall is situated in the Devon estate, named after Devon-a pioneer coffee planter. It is gigantic fall, 281 ft high and has several cascades that add to its beauty. The clear space in front of the fall magnifies the gigantic nature of the fall. It can be reached via Hatton-N'Eliya road and it is off Lindula by the roadside.

Gravestones of the Rev. Charles Wicksted Ethelston and Anne Ethelston.
The Rev. Charles Wicksted Ethelston (1799-1872) was Rector of Uplyme, although he is usually described in genealogies as being from Wicksted Hall, Cheshire; Anne (d. 1853) was the daughter of Robert Peel, Esq. of Wallington Hall, Norfolk and his wife Eliza (née Yates), making her a cousin of the Rt Hon Sir Robert Peel, Prime Minister. Charles and Anne had at least five children; the oldest of which (Edmund) assumed the surname of Peel by royal licence in 1851: www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php?inst_id=2...
