A stunning stain glass window at Goodrich castle. The telecommunications flying unit and the radar research flying unit's badges are on the window. Taken with a Samsung GX20.
This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.

Day Eighteen .. having a look around Glasgow in the morning before heading south to England.
The awe-inspiring building dedicated to St Kentigern, also known as St Mungo, was built in the 1100s and drew countless pilgrims to his shrine. Today, it’s the most complete medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland, having survived the Protestant Reformation almost intact.
Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is the oldest cathedral on mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow. Since the Reformation the cathedral continues in public ownership, within the responsibility of Historic Environment Scotland. The congregation is part of the established Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow and its services and associations are open to all. The cathedral and its kirkyard are at the top of High Street, at Cathedral Street. Immediately neighbouring it are Glasgow Royal Infirmary, opened in 1794, and the elevated Glasgow Necropolis, opened in 1833. Nearby are the Provand's Lordship, Glasgow's oldest house and its herbal medical gardens, the Barony Hall (Barony Church), University of Strathclyde, Cathedral Square, Glasgow Evangelical Church (North Barony Church), and St Mungo Museum.
The history of the cathedral is linked with that of the city, and is allegedly located where the patron saint of Glasgow, Saint Mungo, built his church. The tomb of the saint is in the lower crypt. Walter Scott's novel Rob Roy gives an account of the kirk.
Built before the Reformation from the late 12th century onwards and serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow, the building is a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches (and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland) to have survived the Reformation not unroofed.

St Ishmael has a small church in a leafy valley. The architecture is modest as is this window, all of which gives it charm.

On a walk around Salisbury Cathedral. Making our way from Winchester to Sidmouth where we are staying the night.
The Gorges Monument (1635) in Salisbury Cathedral is the tomb of Helena, Marchioness of Northampton and her husband Sir Thomas Gorges. Each side of the elaborate canopy above the tomb displays two cuboctahedra and an icosahedron. The monument as a whole is crowned by a celestial globe with a dodecahedron on top. This may be a reference to the Timaeus in which Plato relates each of the regular polyhedra to one of the Elements, and suggests that the dodecahedron might represent the whole Celestial Sphere.

St Augustines Church Cashmere, Christchurch, Sunday April 8, 2012, New Zealand.
Catching up on some photo's taken months ago before I go away!
In the latter part of the 1880's, Anglicans had met on the hill for a number of years as a branch of the parish of Saviour's in Sydenham. The Reverend Bromley ***, who lived at Thorrington, had conducted services at the Rhodes Jubilee Home from 1877 to 1898.From the turn of the century adventurous people began to build on the lower slopes of the hill and on the flat along Cashmere Road, consequently the congregation grew.There was an increasing need for Cashmere to be separated from Sydenham and become a parish in its own right - a church on the hill was neededThe site for the new church was given by John Cracroft Wilson an early hill settler, and the vicar of Sydenham Archdeacon E.A. Scott reported "The church will occupy a commanding position." The building was completed in 1908 and dedicated by Bishop Churchill Julius with an overflow congregation of over 80 people present. In 1924 the parish was named the "Parish of Cashmere Hills" and in 1999 renamed the "Parish of Cashmere." Reverend Hugh Norris became the first vicar with 13 vicars serving the parish since.
