East window of the south aisle by Ninian Comper, 1920.
St Mary's church in Clifton upon Dunsmore has a small, box-like late medieval west tower (an odd carving of a bear halfway up the west side is now worn beyond recognition) and largely 13th/14th century nave and aisles with evidence of Norman work in the earlier chancel. The church has been much restored and the interior now has a very Victorian feel to it (new chancel arch and the one Norman window virtually renewed).
There are some quaint corbel heads supporting the nave roof, but otherwise the only antique element is a not very elegant Baroque memorial in the chancel (Orlando Bridgeman 1721). There is a mixture of Victorian stained glass of decent quality, Hardmans in the chancel and north aisle, some Burlison & Grylls, a fine St Paul & Timothy by Kempe and one by Comper. The font is a curious block-shaped thing c1900.
The church is usually kept open for visitors 10am - 4pm most days.

An echo to another "echo" (the original danish design"
Through the windows of an old deserted hotel in S'Chanf, Engadine, Switzerland The trees in the white part are actually showing through the window of the other side of the hotel... I wanted to get a picture of them but this was the best view of them I could find.
The Berlin S-Bahn tracks run right across Museumsinsel, between the Bodemuseum and the Pergamon. As they pass, the train windows capture a reflection of the museum windows by the tracks.

St Peter, Blaxhall, Suffolk
A remote church in a large, sparsely populated rural parish.
Blaxhall is famous for two reasons. It is the setting for George Ewart Evans' books, including The Pattern under the Plough and Ask the Fellows who Cut the Hay.
It is also the home parish of the Rope family. The stained glass work of the cousins Margaret Edith Aldrich Rope and Margaret Rope is now considered to be among the finest of the 20th century, and some of it can be found here, as well as more glass and bas-relief work by Dorothy Rope and Ellen Rope.

Sitting on window sill, will probably paint the frame black , hard to get a good photo as it is quite large. Done in recycled window frame.

I am a BIG fan of window lighting. It softens everything, and adds a warm glow. Here, there are 3 different windows one looks through.
Peterborough Cathedral, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire is unusual as an English county in having not one but two major medieval cathedrals, and unique in that neither is in the county town. Peterborough Cathedral's setting in the heart of the busy city is quite different to that of its neighbour Ely Cathedral, which dominates a small, beautiful market town. There is something special about stepping out of Peterborough's Bridge Street, with its department stores, and Cathedral Square, with its chain restaurants, into the peaceful precinct below the superb Early English west front, a match for the spectacular frontages of both Wells and Lincoln.
Peterborough cathedral is dedicated as the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, and these Saints images appear in statue and stained glass form several times. Originally the church of a Benedictine Abbey, the current structure was begun in the spring of 1118, and was largely complete by about 1250. The vast wooden roof of the nave is, amazingly, the original, one of only four such roofs in Europe. The fire of 22nd November 2001 came within minutes of destroying it. As it was, the painstaking and expensive process of cleaning the roof, which had just been completed, had to be immediately repeated. The most spectacular part of the cathedral is not Early English at all, but the late medieval retrochoir with its fan-vaulting of 1496-1508, by John Wastell who used the same trick at Kings College Chapel across the Fen in Cambridge.
That Cambridgeshire can claim Peterborough Cathedral is an accident of history, of course, because Peterborough only became a part of the much enlarged county of Cambridgeshire in 1974. In fact, almost all of the county of Cambridgeshire is in the Diocese of Ely, including much of the city of Peterborough. All of the city south and east of the River Nene is in the Diocese of Ely, not Peterborough. And yet, the Cathedral close has a frontage that is almost on the Nene. Because of this, Peterborough Cathedral is closer to the edge of its Diocese than any other English cathedral, including both St Paul's Cathedral and Southwark Cathedral, separated as they are by just a few hundred yards and the River Thames.
North nave window at Burton Hastings, installed in 2001 and designed by local artist Roger Fifield.
Fifiled's work makes a very attractive contemporary adition to this ancient building, and is beautifully painted and stylised, echoing his earliest work from the 1960s, without looking backwards.
The subject appears to be a celebration of village life, with various landmark buildings and elements of the village featured without any obvious religious theme (beyond the small dove in the tracery light above).
This formula for stained glass seems to be popular with certain congregations, who prefer to commemorate 'down-to-earth' subjects of mainly local, secular relevance, than convey a spiritual message. The artist is then given a 'shopping list' of relevant features to include in the design at all cost!

East window of St Mary's, Bloxham.
An early work dating from 1869 by Morris, Marshall & Faulkner (founded 1861, later to become Morris & Co in 1875) and one of the best examples of the early stained glass.
This design was a collaboration of Philip webb, Edward Burne Jones, and William Moris himself, each responsible for specific elements or figures within the window.
It's all in the details ... this car was parked outside an auto detailing centre . Here's one way to get splashed and stay dry!
Mommy, I want that one!
I was going for the reflection in the window. But then they came to interrupt me. And thus they became the victims of the Nikonator.
The happy snapper struck before they knew it!
Chancel window designed by John Piper and made by Patrick Reyntiens 1985. The window commemorates 1300 years since the founding of the Jarrow monastery by Benedict Biscop, whose initials are shown below the cross.
St Paul's in Jarrow was the site of one of the most famous Anglo Saxon monasteries in England, famed as the residence of the Venerable Bede. The monastery was founded by Benedict Biscop in c681 and its church survives as the chancel of the present building (with a few later modifications). A few years later a second church (a larger building with aisles) was built on the site of the present nave which remained a separate building until the two were linked by the construction of what is now the lower half of the central tower in c800, but the upper half wasn't built until shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1072, and thus is still decidedly Anglo Saxon in design (the lower half of the structure wasn't originally intended to become a tower which accounts for its unusual rectangular design).
Following the Reformation the monastery was dissolved and St Paul's became a parish church. Substantial ruins of the old monastic buildings remain on the south side of the nave, mostly dating from the Norman period. The old Saxon nave had sadly fallen into disrepair by 1782 and was demolished; it was rebuilt in 1866 by George Gilbert Scott in a simplified early Gothic style with a north aisle. Externally the two halves have weathered harmoniously and the newer parts are less obvious.
Inside the church the eye is drawn to the ancient chancel beyond the mysterious space beneath the low arches of the tower. The original tiny window-openings remain in the side walls and one is even glazed with a roundel of Anglo Saxon glass excavated at the site and leaded into an abstract composition in more recent years, and is thus the oldest coloured glass to be seen in any British church. Further pieces from the site (including some leaded into more complete patterns and even a figure) can be seen at the nearby Bede Museum at Jarrow Hall a short walk to the north.
St Paul's is one of the most historic and ancient churches in the country and is well worth a visit. The church is open most days, though it is currently struggling to raise money for urgent repairwork to the ancient tower. Opening times are given on their website.
