This is the piece in a preliminary stage, before the metal work is done. This is is just the glass- all fit together like a puzzle in a frame before any metal is added.

North Transept Window, 1954.
By Hugh Easton (1906-1965).
Detail - Gabriel.
Hugh Ray Easton was born in London and educated at Wellington College, Berkshire. He worked with the stained glass firm of George Blacking in Guildford in the late 1920s, before moving to establish his studio in Cambridge. After the war he set up a studio in Hampstead, and then at Holbein Place in London. At this time most of his windows were made at the studio of Robert Hendra and Geoffrey Harper, where they interpreted his full-size drawings. Hugh Easton was popular in the post-war period as a designer of stained glass war memorial windows, the most famous of which were those made for the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey.
The McCorquodale window was erected in memory of a friend of the Blythswood family.
Unlike the other stained-glass windows, this was included in the other and smaller building. It was originally installed on the opposite side of the church, but the background of hillside and trees did not do full justice to the stained glass, and so, when the larger scheme was put in hand, the opportunity was taken to move it so that it should overlook the loch.
The window consists of three lights. The first shows the Warrior, who has put on the whole Armour of God and bears the Shield of Faith. His faith is so strong that he does not even look at the fiery darts coming up through brambles and smoke. The opposite light shows the Sword of the Spirit piercing evil creatures; while the centre light, " I have finished my course, " depicts angels taking from the Warrior's head the Helmet of Salvation and showing the weeds and smoke at his feet turning to roses.

Another view from my afternoon at the Cathedral. This time with the altar behind me.
Most Blessed Sacrament parish was established in 1905 to serve Catholics in what was then the northern city limits of Detroit. The parish was initially plagued with financial problems. Construction of the church started in 1913, but proceeded rather slowly. The interior was finished in 1930, with the dedication of the interior on Thanksgiving of that year. Detroit was elevated to an archdiocese in 1937, and Most Blessed Sacrament was chosen to be the cathedral church. However, construction of the exterior, including the twin towers on the west facade and the church spire, was not completed until 1951, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of Detroit's founding. Its consecration on November 17, 1951, was broadcast on live television.
The cathedral's architect was Henry A. Walsh of Cleveland, Ohio, who designed the cathedral in a Norman Gothic style. Due to the length of the construction, Walsh was unable to see the project to completion, and Detroit architect George Diehl was chosen to succeed him for the construction of the towers in 1950. The building's exterior is made of Ohio sandstone, with Indiana limestone used for buttress facings, traceries, and doorways. The cathedral includes statuary by sculptor Corrado Parducci

Lantern, rebuilt by Brian Lowe, 1998-9, following failure of Lawrence King's completed a couple of decades earlier - 1 of 8 windows by Linda Walton of Design Lights, 2000
My brothers and I went to an estate sale in an old house that had been unoccupied for years. It was loaded with all kinds of things - as if the former occupants suddenly just left. The house was unheated and everything was covered in years of dust and dirt. It was sad, really - but there was this window that livened things up a bit. If I win the lottery I'll buy the house. It's still as sturdy as a rock.
Originally glazed in the 15th century by Richard Pickering, the present glass dates from the late nineteenth century, and depicts Christ surrounded by the apostles, in turn surrounded by the 24 elders from Revelation
Stained Glass Lunette at St James, Warter - designed by Robert Anning Bell.
The lunettes on display in the church, originally in the now demolished mausoleum, were restored by Keith Barley Studios in 2011. It's a pity that the tubes back-lighting the panels are rather obvious in places.
The windows are in memory of Lady Isobel Wilson who died in childbirth in 1905. The scene shows Lady Isobel borne heavenward by six angels, her dead baby clasped to her breast. Guy, her husband, watches while an angel swings a thurible releasing the incense of prayer, mourning and resurtrection.
(Information from a leaflet available in the church - beautifully illustrated with Gordon Plumb's excellent photos.)
Detail of a stained glass window at St. Justin Martyr's Church in Toms River, N.J. where my cousin's sons were baptized. A closer look at the stained glass dance party. Apparently God wants to know if you're ready to rock.
