Oscillator 2 of voice 1 of my Prophet 600 is a tad wonky. For the first 30 minutes that oscillator keeps quickly drifting out of tune. The CEM3340 chip (lower left) is the problem, however they all go out until the instrument is warmed up, just not as bad as this one. Luckily they have just started making the CEM3340 again so I will soon get a replacement.
Withcote Chapel is a place I'd wanted to visit for many years and finally getting to see it for myself was no disappointment!
This small Tudor building was originally built in the 1530s as the private chapel of the adjoining manor, but later served as the parish church of Withcote, though with so few living in the parish it has long ceased in this role and is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.
It is a simple late medieval single-chambered structure, battlemented and pinnacled ironstone without, light and plastered within, in fact the interior feels as though it belongs to an entirely different era altogether, having been remodelled in 1744 in Georgian fashion, whitewashed under a flat plaster ceiling with wooden panelling and reredos.
However, it is the glass for which Withcote is justly famed, of the four windows on each side three retain the bulk of their original Renaissance stained glass, six windows in all making this one of the last and most complete surviving schemes of 16th century church glass in the country (so late in fact its manufacture and installation probably coincided with the Reformation rather than predated it).
The glass is believed to have been made in 1536-7 under the direction of king's glazier Galyon Hone, one of a group of artists of Flemish origin whose advanced Renaissance style brought them royal patronage and were based in Southwark (to avoid conflict with indigenous glaziers in the City). Hone is better known for his work on the great windows of King's College Chapel, Cambridge.
Originally the scheme depicted twelve prophets on the south side balanced by the twelve Apostles to the north; eighteen of the original twenty-four figures remain in varying degrees of preservation but many are more or less complete (only the two westernmost windows are devoid of their figurative glass). At the top of each light is a display of Tudor heraldry surrounded by rich Renaissance ornament. The prophets (all but one on the south side) are the most impressive figures owing to their more flamboyant costumes.
Withcote Chapel is a delight, a little gem of a building hidden away in the Leicestershire countryside filled with splendid 16th century glass. It isn't an easy place to find but will greatly reward the effort to do so and is normally open to visitors daily.
Prophet in early sixteenth century Renaissance glass now located in the west window at Hatton, but clearly originating from a tracery light of an unidentified German church.
The church of the Holy Trinity at Hatton was almost entirely rebuilt in the Victorian period (1878-80 by William Young) retaining only the fifteenth century tower from the medieval building. The old tower itself has a fine west window which contains some pieces of 16th century German glass.
This church is normally locked outside of services and has no keyholder listed, so prior arrangement or a special event may be necessary to see inside.

Part of the surviving section of the lower part of the late 15th / early 16th century rood screen.
St Mary's commands the high ground above the pretty village of Kersey, a delightful landmark seen from afar, beckoning the visitor onwards. The village itself sits in the valley, so to reach the church one must climb beyond it, but it is worth the effort (not the easiest of bike rides, the steep ascent to the church had me back on foot again rather quickly (to the amusement of some visitors) whilst Simon patiently waited for me up top).
St Mary's is a grander edifice than most we had visited that day, asserting its presence with its majestic west tower, its parapet adorned with pretty flushwork as is the impressive south porch. The church itself consists of the 14th century nave and spacious north aisle whilst the chancel beyond was rebuilt in Victorian times. The north aisle's proportions in fact match those of the nave in width, most likely as a result of accommodating the shrine of Our Lady of Kersey prior to the Reformation (it seems likely an equally grand south aisle would have been planned but was never realised).
Within the light interior reveals itself to be a rather complex and unusual one, the nave and aisle being divided equally by a delicate arcade whose moldings are adorned with tiny carvings of lion-heads issuing foliage. The nave itself is otherwise somewhat austere, though originally would have been enlivened by an angel roof. The medieval roof is still there but shorn of its ornamentation, the eight angel figures carved into the hammerbeams have sadly been mutilated by the puritans and reduced to headless draped bodies. The ancient font survives but has also suffered some damage to its carving. The wooden eagle lectern however also appears to be genuine medieval work and in fine condition.
The north aisle is the more inviting space, lighter and full of interest. On the north wall is a large niche which is presumed to have been the site of the ancient shrine and now contains fragments of medieval sculpture. This was originally a very richly adorned space, the east end has remains of heavily mutilated niches that once towered either side of the east window, one of which contains a beautiful fragment of medieval sculpture, a headless figure of St Anne with preserved polychrome. All around the aisle at ceiling level is a carved frieze that must have once been heavily populated with figurative imagery and angels, but it has been so ruthlessly butchered by iconoclasts as to be impossible to read.
More inspiring survivals can however still be enjoyed. The sedilia adjoining the easternmost arch is a delightful piece of mid 14th century work, pierced so as to communicate with the chancel. The niches contain delicate miniature vaults with some interesting carved heads (easily missed) though the work was never entirely finished (likely cut short by the Black Death). Adjoining this is displayed the last remaining section of the lower part of the rood screen with six painted figures in colourful late medieval dress (St Edmund, two kings and three prophets).
This is a church of great interest in an area of great beauty and well worth visiting (I am so glad we came here as this was a last minute addition to our itinerary and a lovely surprise) . The renown of Kersey as one of Suffolk's most attractive villages ensures it remains popular with visitors and thus is normally open and welcoming on a daily basis.

Brilliantly coloured pre-Victorian glass in the ante-chapel of Wadham College, Oxford.
The figures are not named, although we can easily recognise Moses in the centre with his 'horns' of light and holding the Law. On the right is someone in the robes of the Jewish High Priest, and we can surmise that this is Aaron. The High Priest's garments are interestingly explained on this site: www.templeinstitute.org/priestly_garments.htm
On the left is a warrior, perhaps Joshua, or perhaps a later king of Israel. For Christological reasons, the latter is a preferable interpretation, since Jesus Christ is priest, prophet and king, and it is in his image that Christians are anointed and participate in these ministries...
