The larger-scale figure is not in situ and is possibly a survivor from the lost clerestorey windows of the choir. The smaller figure is largely a composite with another unfortunate 'ghost head' repair.
Gloucester's east window has a claim to be the largest of medieval windows, a title usually given to that at York as the stained glass there fills the entire window, whereas here it comprises about two thirds of the overall space; however the window itself does fill the entire wall! It is an architectural landmark, the first great expression of the Perpendicular style and built on the foundations of the former apse, hence its unusual curved shape with the outer lights slanted towards the centre. It was glazed c1350 and features remarkably little coloured glass with red and blue backgrounds to the otherwise white figures and canopies (coloured glass was more expensive as it had to be imported, white glass was locally made and therefore cheaper to use, which was especially significant when the proportion of glazing was on such an unprecedented scale!).
The design is treated as a display of images, with figures under canopies filling the entire width of the upper three tiers of the window with a shorter row of angels as the head of the window narrows above (one is missing and has been replaced with a later Madonna & Child from elsewhere in the cathedral). The central group features the entrhoned figures of Christ & Mary at her coronation (the design now slightly confused by the patching of Christ's lower half with part of another figure). The rest features various apostles, saints and kings, some figures (particularly towards the south side) are heavily patched and confused, a few others suffer from unfortunately crude replacement faces (the 'ghost heads') and a couple of figures which appear taller than the rest may not even have originally belonged to the window but are perhaps remnants of the lost original glazing of the adjacent clerestories.
The lower half of the window is partially obscured by the adjacent Lady Chapel (which is entered through it) and mainly consists of plain glazing with a few pieces of heraldry and roundels (including the famous 'golfer').
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a seperate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.
I came across this display of ammunition. I am familier with some but not all of the calibers and types of rounds.

This one Pelican seemed very curious by my presence and swam back and forth in front of me...both of us all alone....it was amazing to get so close and see how really large they are...they are as as long as I am tall with a 9' wing span.
I lined up at 6am to secure my limited edition Ariel doll. This is the display of the doll at the first store I went to (in the background you can see the CSM, I hope she wouldn't mind!)
Display was made with photocopied flowers onto which class wrote number bonds for their chosen total on the petals. They then coloured in flower and went over their numbers in felt-tip. A quick and eye-catching display.

Over two hours of total boredom watching all the other groups do their part in the annual event, then you were on for ten minutes.
Waterproofs meant there was no reason for wandering off before your part in the event, the instructions from Sister was that if there was the need, we should pee ourselves and not make a fuss..
Chalk marks to show you were meant to be.
One of the old B&W photos now re-colourised automatically.
Ca. 1910? Unidentified photographer. (But I suppose it was Mr. Simpkins himself who took a photograph of his display).
It was so wonderful to show off our unique process of how we electroform our pieces!
We were asked to have a demo set up next time.... this sounds like a good idea! :D
