Memorial Window to Nowell Luis Fernandes (1811-1890) of The Grange, Crofton and his wife, Jane Walker (d1900).
By Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907), 1905.
Detail.
To the glory of God and in loving memory of Nowell Luis Fernandes who died 7th April 1890, and of Jane his wife, who died 16th August 1900, this window is dedicated.
Charles Eamer Kempe was a painter of walls, ceilings and woodwork of churches in the 1860s. The style then in vogue reflected a resurgence of interest to high church practices. Kempe's training served him well, and he started his own stained glass company, CE Kempe & Co in London, in 1868. He was not a trained artist, but was nevertheless artistic, and able to suggest ideas which could be developed by his artists and cartoonists. He insisted that only the firm's name should take the credit for the standard of work produced, and that individual members of the studio remain anonymous.
Kempe perfected the use of silver stain on clear glass, which leaves a yellow tint, which could be delicate or deep depending on the amount of stain. His greatest stylistic influence was the stained glass of Northern Germany and Flanders from the 16th Century. He took many trips to Europe, often taking the Kempe Company artists with him. The insignia of Kempe, from about 1895 until his death in 1907 was a wheatsheaf, from his family's coat of arms. After his death, the firm was run by four of his directors, including his cousin, Walter Tower. The insignia then changed to a wheatsheaf with a black tower.

Dome Saint Salvator of Fulda. The Fulda Dome is the symbol of the city. Inside the cathedral is, inter alia, the tomb of St. Boniface, the first apostle of the Germans. The plans of the cathedral were in 1700 by one of the most important German baroque architects, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663-1726), on behalf of Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras manufactured. The previous building, the Ratgarbasilika, once the largest basilica north of the Alps, has been razed to the ground in favor of the new cathedral, before in 1704, the construction in the (then current) Baroque style was begun. On August 15, 1712, cathedral was consecrated. The Fulda Cathedral in its internal system is modeled according to the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The Ratgar Basilica was built in 791-819 in Fulda monastery and named after the builder, the monk Ratgar. The basilica was a Holy Sepulcher over the relics of St. Boniface. It was created after the model of the great Peter's Basilica in Rome and was the largest church building north of the Alps. Construction swallowed so considerable amounts of ressources that Abbot Ratger was expelled from the convent of the monastery.
During the Middle Ages the building structure crumbled more and more, so that the Ratgar Basilica in 1700 was demolished. In its place, the baroque Fulda Cathedral was built by Johann Dientzenhofer over the tomb of Boniface.
Die Ratgar-Basilika wurde zwischen 791 und 819 im Kloster Fulda erbaut und nach dem Baumeister, dem Mönch Ratgar, benannt. Die Basilika war eine Grabeskirche über den Gebeinen des Heiligen Bonifatius. Sie entstand nach dem Vorbild des großen Petersdoms in Rom und war der größte Kirchenbau nördlich der Alpen. Der Bau verschlang so große Mittel, dass Abt Ratger vom Konvent des Klosters vertrieben wurde.
Im Verlaufe des Mittelalters zerfiel die Bausubstanz immer mehr, sodass die Ratgar-Basilika 1700 abgerissen wurde. An ihrer Stelle wurde über der Bonifatiusgruft von Johann Dientzenhofer der barocke Fuldaer Dom errichtet.
Dom St. Salvator zu Fulda: Der Fuldaer Dom ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Im Inneren des Doms befindet sich u. a. die Grabstätte des Hl. Bonifatius, des ersten Apostels der Deutschen. Die Pläne des Doms wurden im Jahr 1700 von einem der bedeutendsten deutschen Barockbaumeister, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663–1726), im Auftrag von Fürstabt Adalbert von Schleifras angefertigt. Der Vorgängerbau, die Ratgarbasilika, einst größte Basilika nördlich der Alpen, wurde zugunsten des neuen Doms niedergelegt, ehe 1704 der Bau im (damals aktuellen) barocken Stil begonnen wurde. Am 15. August 1712 wurde der Dom geweiht. Der Dom zu Fulda ist seinem inneren System nach an den Petersdom in Rom angelehnt.

For lack of a name, I was calling this little kitty The Editor or Ed for his penchant of climbing on my desk and hiding behind the keyboard to attack your fingers. The kids decided that he needed a proper name and not just a title - So meet Edgar The Editor. He has gotten brave enough to hang out on top of the desk now and thinks he is in charge of the mouse. If you make a mistake, Look Out - he will pounce all over you and correct it himself. This is the last of the kittens we had - My children are begging to keep him - Does anyone want a Critical Kitten?

Places to visit in and around Stratford: Temple Guiting
The villages of Temple Guiting and Guiting Power were known as Upper and Lower Guiting, they were renamed in the 19th century. Temple Guiting is built on the steep slopes of a valley through which the River Windrush flows.
Temple Guiting takes it’s name from the Knights Templar who were given lands here by Gilbert de Lacy and Roger de Waterville in the middle of the 12th century. A Templar preceptory was founded to administer these properties, they built the present parish church in 1170.The preceptory consisted of serving brethren, a chaplain and one or more knights under a preceptor, a knight who gathered revenues to be sent to their order in Palestine. The Templars were suppressed by pope Clement V, on the 8th January 1308, the Templars were arrested under orders from Edward II who seized their properties. John de Coningston, the preceptor of Guiting was detained and sent to London, Templars were examined and tortured, eventually the belief that their master could grant absolution from sin brought the charge of heresy. They made a public abjuration of error in June 1311, were absolved and reconciled to the church but their lands were confiscated. John de Coningston and six other Templars did penance at monastries in the diocese of Worcester where they were maintained by a charge on their lands at Temple Guiting.
The south and north chancel walls of the church with their corbel table, the south wall of the nave, the winged lion corbel now in the chancel, some carved fragments in the porch and the capitals of the tower arch are survivors from the Templar church. In the 13th century the east end of the chancel was altered, the remains of two chancel windows and a corbel in the porch are of this period. 14th century work includes the north chapel with its piscina and aumbry, the low window of the south wall and the north and south chancel windows. The 15th and 16th centuries saw the addition of battlements, the east window, nave and north chapel windows, the priest’s door and the font. The west tower and it’s bells are 17th century. 18th century features include the westernmost nave windows, the north window of the north chapel, the Royal Arms, a hatchment and a gilded decalogue. The north porch and the chancel and north chapel arches are 19th century.
The church has three panels of 15th century stained glass depicting Mary Magdalene, James the Lesser and the Virgin Mary. There is also a beautiful modern window by Tom Denny.
Temple Guiting lies between Stow-on-the Wold and Winchcombe about an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon, Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park is nearby.
Part of Barbara Hepworth's The Family of Man sculpture.
The work dates to 1970 and was made from bronze by the Wakefield native before going on display at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near by.
It is made up of a series of nine bronze figures, with those representing the younger members of the family more simple, with the sculptures becoming more complicated as they represent older people.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.
There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.
The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.
