'DRAMA', The Art Of Laurent Durieux
'Laurent Durieux's magnificent work elevates poster art to a high level. The stunningly executed images express the ideas and themes of the films he has chosen in new terms. They communicate a lot without words and are part of the wonderful tradition of illustrative art. '
Francis Ford Coppola
The exhibition presents around a hundred original posters of the Belgian artist, internationally acclaimed by moviegoers.
THE ABC OF PORN CINEMA
(Prohibited under 18 year old)
In 2013, the ABC, Brussels' last old-school adult cinema still showing 35mm films, was shut down. Its archive, meticulously built over the forty years of its existence, was salvaged by Cinema Nova, allowing the veil of a bygone era devoured by the digital revolution to be lifted.
The exhibition 'The ABC of Porn Cinema' spans four decades of activity by the aforementioned theatre, and in doing so recalls the world that surrounded it. Through numerous documents, posters, hand-painted billboards, engraved press plates and censored photos retrieved from the ABC, plus an accompanying art installation, an obscure part of our culture destined to be buried in the annals of history can once again be rediscovered and reappraised. Indeed, these historical archives are exceptional and unique, unafraid to indulge in humour or to drum up reflection and controversy.
An exhibition created by the Nova cinema and the MIMA with the participation of the Gogolplex collective

Elle fut exécutée en 1788 d'après les dessins de Charles de Wailly, et donnée par le duc d'Aiguillon du Plessis-Richelieu, arrière-petit-neveu du cardinal de Richelieu, ancien ministre de Louis XV et premier marguillier de la paroisse. Elle est faite de chêne et de marbre, et considérée comme un chef-d’œuvre d'ébénisterie et d'équilibre (elle repose, de fait, sur les seuls escaliers latéraux qui la soutiennent). En 1791, Monsieur de Pansemont (curé de la paroisse) déclara son refus de prêter le serment de la Constitution Civile du Clergé du haut de cette chaire, devant les gardes nationaux et ses fidèles. La chaire fut, par chance, conservée par les révolutionnaires qui la jugeaient « utile ». Ses dorures et ses peintures ont fait récemment l'objet d'une restauration très soignée (2010).
La chaire comporte de nombreux symboles sur les différentes parties qui la composent :
Deux statues en bois de tilleul doré (œuvre de Guesdon), celle de gauche tenant un calice (symbole de la foi) et celle de droite une ancre (symbole d'espérance).
Quatre bas reliefs en bronze dorés d'Edme Dumont, avec des animaux qui représentent les évangélistes : un lion (pour Saint Marc, dont l'Évangile commence par le ministère de Saint Jean le Baptiste dont la parole retentit comme le rugissement d'un lion dans le désert), un taureau (pour Saint Luc, dont l'Évangile commence par l'annonce d'un fils à Zacharie, sacrificateur au temple), un ange (ou un homme, pour Saint Matthieu dont l'Évangile commence par la généalogie humaine du Christ) et un aigle (qui fixe le Soleil comme Saint Jean fixe Dieu dans la personne humaine et divine du Christ).
Un abat-voix d'Edme Dumont surmonté d'un groupe (une femme et des enfants) en bois doré représentant la charité, dont le dessous du ciel est orné d'une colombe dorée aux ailes étendues, symbole de l'Esprit Saint entouré de rayons lumineux.
Actuellement la chaire ne sert plus pour les prêches, les prédicateurs commentant les textes de la liturgie depuis le pupitre des lecteurs, près de l'autel.

Detail of the Baptistry Window, a masterpiece of abstract stained glass designed by John Piper and executed by Patrick Reyntiens.
Coventry's Cathedral is a unique synthesis of old a new, born of wartime suffering and forged in the spirit of postwar optimism, famous for it's history and for being the most radically modern of Anglican cathedrals. Two cathedral's stand side by side, the ruins of the medieval building, destroyed by incendiary bombs in 1940 and the bold new building designed by Basil Spence and opened in 1962.
It is a common misconception that Coventry lost it's first cathedral in the wartime blitz, but the bombs actually destroyed it's second; the original medieval cathedral was the monastic St Mary's, a large cruciform building believed to have been similar in appearance to Lichfield Cathedral (whose diocese it shared). Tragically it became the only English cathedral to be destroyed during the Reformation, after which it was quickly quarried away, leaving only scant fragments, but enough evidence survives to indicate it's rich decoration (some pieces were displayed nearby in the Priory Visitors Centre, sadly since closed). Foundations of it's apse were found during the building of the new cathedral in the 1950s, thus technically three cathedrals share the same site.
The mainly 15th century St Michael's parish church became the seat of the new diocese of Coventry in 1918, and being one of the largest parish churches in the country it was upgraded to cathedral status without structural changes (unlike most 'parish church' cathedrals created in the early 20th century). It lasted in this role a mere 22 years before being burned to the ground in the 1940 Coventry Blitz, leaving only the outer walls and the magnificent tapering tower and spire (the extensive arcades and clerestoreys collapsed completely in the fire, precipitated by the roof reinforcement girders, installed in the Victorian restoration, that buckled in the intense heat).
The determination to rebuild the cathedral in some form was born on the day of the bombing, however it wasn't until the mid 1950s that a competition was held and Sir Basil Spence's design was chosen. Spence had been so moved by experiencing the ruined church he resolved to retain it entirely to serve as a forecourt to the new church. He envisaged the two being linked by a glass screen wall so that the old church would be visible from within the new.
Built between 1957-62 at a right-angle to the ruins, the new cathedral attracted controversy for it's modern form, and yet some modernists argued that it didn't go far enough, after all there are echoes of the Gothic style in the great stone-mullioned windows of the nave and the net vaulting (actually a free-standing canopy) within. What is exceptional is the way art has been used as such an integral part of the building, a watershed moment, revolutionising the concept of religious art in Britain.
Spence employed some of the biggest names in contemporary art to contribute their vision to his; the exterior is adorned with Jacob Epstein's triumphant bronze figures of Archangel Michael (patron of the cathedral) vanquishing the Devil. At the entrance is the remarkable glass wall, engraved by John Hutton with strikingly stylised figures of saints and angels, and allowing the interior of the new to communicate with the ruin. Inside, the great tapestry of Christ in majesty surrounded by the evangelistic creatures, draws the eye beyond the high altar; it was designed by Graham Sutherland and was the largest tapestry ever made.
However one of the greatest features of Coventry is it's wealth of modern stained glass, something Spence resolved to include having witnessed the bleakness of Chartres Cathedral in wartime, all it's stained glass having been removed. The first window encountered on entering is the enormous 'chess-board' baptistry window filled with stunning abstract glass by John Piper & Patrick Reyntiens, a symphony of glowing colour. The staggered nave walls are illuminated by ten narrow floor to ceiling windows filled with semi-abstract symbolic designs arranged in pairs of dominant colours (green, red, multi-coloured, purple/blue and gold) representing the souls journey to maturity, and revealed gradually as one approaches the altar. This amazing project was the work of three designers lead by master glass artist Lawrence Lee of the Royal College of Art along with Keith New and Geoffrey Clarke (each artist designed three of the windows individually and all collaborated on the last).
The cathedral still dazzles the visitor with the boldness of it's vision, but alas, half a century on, it was not a vision to be repeated and few of the churches and cathedrals built since can claim to have embraced the synthesis of art and architecture in the way Basil Spence did at Coventry.
The cathedral is generally open to visitors most days. For more see below:-

Early yesterday morning (Tuesday 8 April) officers from our Operation Vulcan team executed a warrant in Derker as they continue to tackle crime in the area with their dedicated initiative.
As police searched the house, they recovered around one thousand pounds worth of cannabis.
In the garage, police also located two off road bikes and a surron bike which will be seized as they continue with their relentless pursuit of tackling crime and anti-social behaviour which is being committed using the e-bikes.
A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs. He remains in police custody awaiting questioning.
The problem-solving approach by Operation Vulcan is seeing us work collaboratively with partners, act on community information to reduce crime, and tackle the root causes to prevent further harm.
Since launching the operation in March, the team have made almost 30 arrests,
seized a dozen vehicles and e-bikes, and busted drug lines.
Sergeant Joseph Dunne from Operation Vulcan said: “Throughout the day officers will remain on patrol to offer a visible reassurance to residents. They will also be conducting a traffic operation in the area to target anti-social driving and vehicle crime, and a knife arch will be stationed at the Derker tram stop.
“We hope that residents are already seeing and feeling a difference in the area, and our proactivity will not stop. This is another great result for the local operation, and I am sure plenty more will come thanks to the intelligence we are receiving from the public and our partners who are fed up with criminals operating in the area.”
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

In the early hours of the morning (Tuesday 5 December), Operation Vulcan executed a warrant as part of their ongoing commitment to tackle the prescription drug trade in Cheetham Hill.
A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of importing class C drugs, conspiracy to supply class C drugs and knowingly evading prohibition of importing a controlled drug.
Over the last few months, partners at Border Force have intercepted several packages destined for addresses in Greater Manchester, consisting of tens of thousands of illicit tablets.
A meticulous investigation by detectives in Operation Vulcan has resulted in this morning’s raids.
Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers said: “A lot of work with partners continues to go on behind the scenes, and collaboration with Border Force has been vital to the success of Operation Vulcan. They have played a key role in identifying illegal packages coming into the UK destined for Cheetham Hill, whether that’s counterfeit clothes or illicit prescription medication, and officers from our team have worked tirelessly to trace these items, resulting in several arrests and charges.
“Today’s operation is a really positive step forward to not only take action against those responsible for these crimes, but to also help get control of an illegal drug market that has such a negative impact on our communities.
“The illegal supply of any drug carries so much danger for those purchasing and using them as there is no way of knowing where it has come from or how it’s been produced. Operation Vulcan and partners will continue to gather intelligence and crackdown on markets like this which inevitably lead to the deterioration of neighbourhoods and increased anti-social behaviour and exploitation.”

South chancel window c1980 unusually executed using fused layers of glass to create the designs. Possibly the work of Birmingham stained glass artist Claude Price who often used this medium.
The church of All Saints in Thorpe Acre (a north western suburb of Loughborough) was built in 1845 to replace a ruined medieval building at nearby DIshley. This small church was designed by WIlliam Railton and consisted of a single space nave and chancel in one crowned by a bellcote at the west end. The situation changed dramatically in 1968 when the building was greatly enlarged by extensions at the west end and on the south side were a large transept was created, transforming the building into the T-shaped worship space we see today, with the focal point at the crossing point rather than the old chancel. Outside the bellcote remains but the new additions dominate the view from the west and south, leaving the former chancel as the only part of the building still substantially in its Victorian form.
The interior is a light and pleasant space thanks to the white-washed walls and the light flooding in from the modern sections. The former chancel is relatively unaltered and retains some fine glass by Kempe along with a good Arts & Crafts window and a more recent piece alongside it.
This church is something a bit different, a fusion of old and new, and I rather liked it. I imagine it is normally only open for services but the people we met here were friendly and welcoming.

Ugolino and His Sons, modeled ca. 1860–61, executed in marble 1865–67
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (French, 1827–1875)
Saint-Béat marble
H. 77 in. (195.6 cm)
Signed (incised in script at right front facet of base): Jbte Carpeaux./Rome 1860; (incised at right end facet of base) JBTE CARPEAUX ROMA 1860
Purchase, Josephine Bay Paul and C. Michael Paul Foundation Inc. Gift and Charles Ulrick and Josephine Bay Foundation Inc. Gift, and Fletcher Fund, 1967 (67.250)
Dante's Divine Comedy has always enjoyed favor in the plastic arts. Ugolino, the character that galvanized peoples' fantasies and fears during the second half of the nineteenth century, appears in Canto 33 of the Inferno. This intensely Romantic sculpture derives from the passage in which Dante describes the imprisonment in 1288 and subsequent death by starvation of the Pisan count Ugolino della Gherardesca and his offspring. Carpeaux depicts the moment when Ugolino, condemned to die of starvation, yields to the temptation to devour his children and grandchildren, who cry out to him:
But when to our somber cell was thrown
A slender ray, and each face was lit
I saw in each the aspect of my own,
For very grief both of my hands I bit,
And suddenly from the floor arising they,
Thinking my hunger was the cause of it,
Exclaimed: Father eat thou of us, and stay
Our suffering: thou didst our being dress
In this sad flesh; now strip it all away.
Carpeaux's visionary composition reflects his reverence for Michelangelo, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism. Ugolino and His Sons was completed in plaster in 1861, the last year of his residence at the French Academy in Rome. A sensation in Rome, it brought Carpeaux many commissions. Upon his return to France, Ugolino was cast in bronze at the order of the French Ministry of Fine Arts and exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1863. Later it was moved to the gardens of the Tuilieries, where it was displayed as a pendant to a bronze of the Laocoön. This marble version was executed by the practitioner Bernard under Carpeaux's supervision and completed in time for the Universal Exposition at Paris in 1867. The date inscribed on the marble refers to the original plaster model's completion.
In the early hours of this morning (Monday 18 September), Operation Vulcan executed a warrant at a property in Salford, in relation to suspected prescription drug supply in the Cheetham Hill area.
A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class C drugs.
Police also recovered significant amounts of cash inside the property.
In July this year, Operation Vulcan took on their biggest challenge yet when they seized a record-breaking number of counterfeit items, drugs and vapes stored in shipping containers on the outskirts of Cheetham Hill. This warrant was deemed the UK’s largest police operation to tackle the counterfeit trade which ranked amongst the largest globally.
One of the containers stored thousands of prescription drugs which detectives now believe to have traced back to a man in Salford.
Since then, Operation Vulcan launched an extensive investigation into the illegal supply of prescription drugs in Manchester, which included another record-breaking seizure in August, which saw police seize around £2 million worth – dubbed the largest single seizure of illicit prescription medication in UK history.
This arrest is the latest in a series targeting those suspected of being involved in the supply of illicit prescription drugs.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Julien, one of Operation Vulcan's specialist officer's, said: “The warrant we executed in July placed Greater Manchester Police and Operation Vulcan onto the global stage with a record-breaking single seizure of counterfeit items and drugs, which highlighted the true extent of the criminality linked to the counterfeit trade which was happening on our doorstep.
“Since then, we’ve worked closely with partners to trace where these items came from, and who they belonged to, which ultimately led us to this property in Salford today.
“With the overt criminality in the area gone, we’re able to identify those higher up the chain responsible for flooding our streets with drugs and the associated violence. People’s lives are being destroyed by the misuse of prescription drugs and we will continue to disrupt and dismantle the supply chains operating out of the Cheetham Hill and Strangeways areas.”
If you suspect someone is illegally supplying prescription drugs or illicit substances, please report it online or via LiveChat at www.gmp.police.uk.”

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by E. Cailteux of Lille.
Lille in the Great War
Lille's occupation by the Germans began on the 13th. October 1914 after a ten-day siege and heavy shelling which destroyed 882 apartment and office blocks and 1,500 houses, mostly around the railway station and in the town centre.
By the end of October the town was being run by German authorities. Because Lille was only 20 km from the battlefield, German troops passed through the city regularly on their way to and from the front.
As a result, occupied Lille became a place both for the hospitalisation and treatment of wounded soldiers, as well as a place for soldiers' relaxation and entertainment. Many buildings, homes, and businesses were requisitioned to those ends.
Lille was liberated by the Allies on the 17th. October 1918, when General Sir William Birdwood and his troops were welcomed by joyous crowds.
The only audio recording known to have been made during the First World War was recorded near Lille in October 1918. The two minute recording captured the Royal Garrison Artillery conducting a gas shell bombardment.
Lille was also the hunting ground of World War I German flying Ace Max Immelmann who was nicknamed 'The Eagle of Lille'.
Lille After the Great War
In July 1921, at the Pasteur Institute in Lille, Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin discovered the first anti-tuberculosis vaccine, known as BCG ('Bacille de Calmette et Guérin').
The Opéra de Lille, designed by Lille architect Louis M. Cordonnier, was dedicated in 1923.
From 1931 Lille felt the repercussions of the Great Depression, and by 1935 a third of the city's population lived in poverty.
In 1936, the city's mayor, Roger Salengro, became Minister of the Interior of the Popular Front, eventually killing himself after right-wing groups led a slanderous campaign against him.
Monument to the Executed of Lille
The Great War monument in the Square Daubenton in Lille shows four leaders of the city’s Resistance standing against a wall just moments before their execution by the German Army in the dungeons of the citadel.
Along with Léon Trulin, who can be seen lying at their feet, Eugène Jacquet, Georges Maertens, Ernest Deceuninck and Sylvère Verhulst set up a network for communicating information to the Allies about the German occupiers of Lille.
They were eventually betrayed and executed on the 22nd. September 1915.
In total, twenty-five individuals were executed in Lille by firing squad under the occupation. Notices were posted informing the public about executions of political prisoners, saboteurs, and hostages in response to attacks or acts of sabotage against the German occupiers.
An estimated 500,000 French men and women worked for the Resistance during Germany's occupation of France. Resistance workers carried out thousands of acts of sabotage against the German occupiers, even though the risks were great. More than 90,000 members of the Resisters were killed, tortured or deported by the Germans.
This series is the result of a failure to execute the original idea. I was rushed, what with the BBQ waiting on the dry rubbed pork, and the beers still in the 'fridge.
The intended setup was this - two off camera Vivitar 283 strobes, one with a peanut (which triggers nicely in full daylight) mounted on a light stand, the other mounted on a bracket near the camera plugged into the 40D. I wanted to blur the background so I set the 100 f/2 wide open. I let the AV figure out the shutter speed after applying a -2ev exposure reduction.
What I failed to remember was that the shutter only syncs at 1/200th or less. All the images were shuttered around 1/1000th sec. YIKES! I blew it!! Still, this image appears to have sync'd close enough that I got a bit of rim light on my subject. Pure luck, I say.
Still, I layered up a few things in the Gimp, applied a tint after messing with the levels, fiddled a WHOLE LOT with textures, added a border, and... well... here's what came out... in spite of my intentions...

Officers from Greater Manchester Police’s County Lines team executed seven warrants across Bolton this morning, working alongside specialist Challenger and complex safeguarding teams to secure several arrests.
The early morning wake-up calls for the residents across the various addresses was a direct result of the team’s work in tackling county lines drug supply and the exploitation of vulnerable people in the Bolton area.
Additionally working with members of GMP’s Serious and Organised Crime team, four arrests were made:
Three men, aged 21, 24, and 26, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs, participation in an organised gang and modern slavery offences.
One man, aged 26, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs.
During searches of the properties, numerous items were discovered and seized, including an e-bike, Class A and Class B drugs. The four remain in custody for questioning.
County Lines is the use of dedicated phone lines to deal drugs from one location to another. In some instances of county lines gangs, vulnerable people are exploited in order to sell and store drugs.
This can include young children who are lured into a life of crime by older people seeking to convince them to take part in illegal behaviour.
Vulnerable adults may also be forced into similar acts – by people who pretend to be their friend or otherwise threaten them for not assisting with their criminality. In some cases, homes will be taken over and taken advantage of.
Across Greater Manchester, officers work tirelessly every day to tackle drugs and the people who supply them. From our specialist Programme Challenger teams to neighbourhood officers in your local community, GMP seizes significant quantities of drugs and ill-gotten money every week, combatting everything from anti-social drug users to organised criminal dealers.
Detective Inspector Zoe MacDonald, from GMP’s County Lines Team, said: “Drugs and the people who supply them can cause an incredible amount of harm in our community. From addiction to the exploitation of the most vulnerable, illicit substances cause so many types of hurt and criminality across so many towns and cities.
“This morning’s work has targeted reports of county lines operating in Bolton, and the drug supply in the town and wider area. We have successfully hit several addresses across the district and shown criminals that we will never tolerate them.
“I want the people of Bolton to know that we are dedicated to protecting them and ensuring we keep criminals off the streets.
“From regular patrols to intelligence gathering to crucial work with partner agencies, we put considerable resources in to tackling the scourge of drug-related criminality on our streets.
“If you have any concerns about drug supply or county lines operating in your area or feel like you have witnessed something suspicious, please do get in touch with us. You can report information to the police on 101, via gmp.police.uk, or by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
A spokesperson for Bolton Council said: “County lines gangs exploit the most vulnerable in society and inflict considerable harm on the wider community.
“As part of our safeguarding responsibilities, we have worked jointly with Greater Manchester Police to disrupt the activity of these gangs and hold those responsible to account.
“As a council, we will always be relentless in identifying anyone who exploits others and take decisive action to keep Bolton’s children and vulnerable adults safe.
“Our specially trained staff continue to work with the victims and to support all those affected.”

Badly executed HDR for a whole bunch of reasons really. The over exposure on the right due to sun streaming in at the last minute hasn't helped and I should have had this aerial over the vicars head but it was rushed and not executed well. However all that being said I quite like it as it's fun and colourful even if you can't see the bride!
Note the camera on a light stand at the very rear of the church. I had this on a radio trigger with flash zoomed to 200mm and got some great shots as they came back down the aisle but I had set the thing up manually before the ceremony when it was clouded over and the bright sunlight caused the flash to overexpose slightly. Shot RAW so I managed to recover 99% of it. Guess I should post up one of those :)
Executed in the south of France, this painting shows a comfortably furnished apartment with a view over the Mediterranean. The sunlit interior suggests relaxation and pleasure, but the painting has a mysterious intensity that seems strangely at odds with the domesticity of the scene. The young girl appears stiff and immobile, like an ancient statue, her face curiously inexpressive. The rigorous order of the composition, with its repeated verticals, reinforces the atmosphere of stillness.

The bottom stone is the stone that Joan of Arc prayed on and then kissed, before being executed. The legend is that the stone is noticably colder than the stones beside and above it. When I touched it, the stone seemed to be colder than the two beside it but the same temperature as the one above.

700 Uighurs executed, 16.000 imprisoned... who stands up for language, culture and religion of the Uighures gets marked as "Terrorist". Alone since March 23, at least 760 Uighures were arrested.
Berlin 04/23/2008 - An association of Uyghurs in exile accused China of "cultural genocide" and called for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics at the start of a Uyghur congress in Berlin on Monday. Uyghurs from the north-western Chinese region of Xinjiang were being detained, tortured and deported in an attempt to crush their language and culture, Rebiya Kadeer, president of the World Congress of Uyghurs (WUC), said.
The repression of the largely Sunni Muslim Uyghurs had increased during the run-up to the Games, Kadeer said.
She called for the Olympics to be boycotted, and more particularly for political leaders to boycott the opening ceremony on August 8, saying the Beijing Games had brought her people nothing but suffering.
Kadeer said Chinese authorities had effectively deported hundreds of thousands of Uyghur women between the ages of 15 and 25 to other parts of China under the pretext of providing jobs for them. (But it's actually supposed to recuce the Uighur community to a minimum...)
Many Chinese had been brought to the region to take their places with the aim of eradicating Uyghur culture, she said.
Kadeer, a mother of 11 and a successful businesswoman, was once a member of the Chinese National People's Congress.
After spending time in prison in China, she now lives in exile in the United States. According to the WUC, two of her sons are in detention in China.
The human rights commissioner of the German parliament, Guenter Nooke, called on Beijing to enter into constructive and open dialogue with the minority Uyghurs.
He also demanded that journalists should be allowed to report on conditions in China ahead of the Games.
Nooke urged European Union countries to accept 17 Uyghurs being held at the US Guantanamo Bay military base, noting that the US authorities are prepared to release them.

15c Buckland Pall is made from portions of 3 velvet vestments with embroidery executed in gold and silver thread with added coloured silks and spangles. flic.kr/p/2azFG4f
The centre part is made from a blue velvet cope worked with conventional flowers.
Part of the lower border is made from a vestment of red velvet embroidered with a representation of the crucifixion, the figures of BVM and St John, originally standing on either side, have been re- applied beneath the cross.
The upper border is made from the same vestment, and has figures of a bishop with mitre and pastoral staff; St Paul (?) with a book; St Peter with keys and book & St Michael slaying the dragon with a sword. The figures are separated by conventional flowers and in the middle is a rebus formed by the letters W.H.Y. and a perspective view of a church with pinnacles of a monstrance between. The rebus is believed to refer to the name of Wiliam Whychurch, abbot of Hailes from 1464-1479 and the monstrance may be a reference to the relic of the Holy Blood of Hailes once venerated by pilgrims there.
All 3 vestments are of English work and appear to have been made in the second half of the 15c . It is believed to have come from Hailes Abbey after its 1532 Dissolution of the monasteries when such church vestments which were not destroyed were put to all sorts of common use. In its time it has served as an altar frontal and as a pall to cover coffins at funerals.- Church of St Michael , Buckland Gloucestershire

Detail of the Baptistry Window, a masterpiece of abstract stained glass designed by John Piper and executed by Patrick Reyntiens.
Coventry's Cathedral is a unique synthesis of old a new, born of wartime suffering and forged in the spirit of postwar optimism, famous for it's history and for being the most radically modern of Anglican cathedrals. Two cathedral's stand side by side, the ruins of the medieval building, destroyed by incendiary bombs in 1940 and the bold new building designed by Basil Spence and opened in 1962.
It is a common misconception that Coventry lost it's first cathedral in the wartime blitz, but the bombs actually destroyed it's second; the original medieval cathedral was the monastic St Mary's, a large cruciform building believed to have been similar in appearance to Lichfield Cathedral (whose diocese it shared). Tragically it became the only English cathedral to be destroyed during the Reformation, after which it was quickly quarried away, leaving only scant fragments, but enough evidence survives to indicate it's rich decoration (some pieces were displayed nearby in the Priory Visitors Centre, sadly since closed). Foundations of it's apse were found during the building of the new cathedral in the 1950s, thus technically three cathedrals share the same site.
The mainly 15th century St Michael's parish church became the seat of the new diocese of Coventry in 1918, and being one of the largest parish churches in the country it was upgraded to cathedral status without structural changes (unlike most 'parish church' cathedrals created in the early 20th century). It lasted in this role a mere 22 years before being burned to the ground in the 1940 Coventry Blitz, leaving only the outer walls and the magnificent tapering tower and spire (the extensive arcades and clerestoreys collapsed completely in the fire, precipitated by the roof reinforcement girders, installed in the Victorian restoration, that buckled in the intense heat).
The determination to rebuild the cathedral in some form was born on the day of the bombing, however it wasn't until the mid 1950s that a competition was held and Sir Basil Spence's design was chosen. Spence had been so moved by experiencing the ruined church he resolved to retain it entirely to serve as a forecourt to the new church. He envisaged the two being linked by a glass screen wall so that the old church would be visible from within the new.
Built between 1957-62 at a right-angle to the ruins, the new cathedral attracted controversy for it's modern form, and yet some modernists argued that it didn't go far enough, after all there are echoes of the Gothic style in the great stone-mullioned windows of the nave and the net vaulting (actually a free-standing canopy) within. What is exceptional is the way art has been used as such an integral part of the building, a watershed moment, revolutionising the concept of religious art in Britain.
Spence employed some of the biggest names in contemporary art to contribute their vision to his; the exterior is adorned with Jacob Epstein's triumphant bronze figures of Archangel Michael (patron of the cathedral) vanquishing the Devil. At the entrance is the remarkable glass wall, engraved by John Hutton with strikingly stylised figures of saints and angels, and allowing the interior of the new to communicate with the ruin. Inside, the great tapestry of Christ in majesty surrounded by the evangelistic creatures, draws the eye beyond the high altar; it was designed by Graham Sutherland and was the largest tapestry ever made.
However one of the greatest features of Coventry is it's wealth of modern stained glass, something Spence resolved to include having witnessed the bleakness of Chartres Cathedral in wartime, all it's stained glass having been removed. The first window encountered on entering is the enormous 'chess-board' baptistry window filled with stunning abstract glass by John Piper & Patrick Reyntiens, a symphony of glowing colour. The staggered nave walls are illuminated by ten narrow floor to ceiling windows filled with semi-abstract symbolic designs arranged in pairs of dominant colours (green, red, multi-coloured, purple/blue and gold) representing the souls journey to maturity, and revealed gradually as one approaches the altar. This amazing project was the work of three designers lead by master glass artist Lawrence Lee of the Royal College of Art along with Keith New and Geoffrey Clarke (each artist designed three of the windows individually and all collaborated on the last).
The cathedral still dazzles the visitor with the boldness of it's vision, but alas, half a century on, it was not a vision to be repeated and few of the churches and cathedrals built since can claim to have embraced the synthesis of art and architecture in the way Basil Spence did at Coventry.
The cathedral is generally open to visitors most days. For more see below:-
