South aisle window depicting the Baptism of Christ by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, 1910.

The impressive parish church at Knowle is dedicated to Saints John the Baptist, Laurence and Anne; it is a good example of a Perpendicular Midland church, and is profusely adorned on the south side with battlements, pinnacles and gargoyles.

It is also built using two different coloured local sandstones, red and white, a feature of several Warwickshire churches that adds greatly to their appeal.

Inside the church is spacious with then nave flanked by aisles and the chancel disappearing beyond the late medieval wooden screen. The chancel contains ancient stalls with ten misericords (mostly fairly plain designs) and a sedilia too high up to be used (owing to the lowering of the floor following the removal of a passageway that once ran beneath the altar).

There is an interesting mixture of stained glass from several studios of the Victorian and Arts & Crafts period, an extensive and varied collection with some particularly notable pieces that reward study.

The church is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.

More archival digging...

The much photographed Fairbairn Crane down on the Harbourside. It was such a bright sunny day, yet the combination of iron and glass is almost monochromatic. I think it must have been the texture and the geometry that caught my eye on the day though...

This is the ONLY surviving Fairbairn Steam Crane in the world; patented in 1850 and designed by Sir William Fairbairn.

This is the side of the new prison. Little windows, but with a pretty nice view. Not that I've seen for myself.

Another window in memory of a member of the Hales family ; this time it is to Robert Turner Hales ( 1853 - 1931), a local doctor and also a benefactor of the church. The window illustrates the procession of pilgrims from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". It was designed by Francis Spear in 1933.
