East window at Sandord St Martin by Michael O'Connor and made by Holland of Warwick 1850, representing Christ between angels and the four Evangelist's emblems.
Apparently this window was nearly removed in the 1970s; when John Piper was commissioned to design a new window for the church it was the then vicar's intention to replace this window. Piper was less keen to discard the window as it was a good example of O'Connor's work, and therefore suggested the north aisle east window instead, which was subsequently installedin 1974.
The superb east window at Aylestone, a masterpiece by Henry Payne dating from 1930. The effect of the glass is literally dazzling and difficult to do justice to with a camera. Entering the church for the first time and seeing these shimmering blues from afar was an unforgettable experience, it needs to be seen first hand to appreciate it's full impact.
St Andrew's in Aylestone is a fine largely 14th century church in an area no more or less absorbed into Leicester suburbia.
The church's nave has a fine medieval roof with recently recoloured carvings, whilst the chancel is unusually long and spacious for a parish church. The crowning glory however is the superb east window depicting Christ's ascension and designed in 1930 by Henry Payne.
We were lucky enough to find the church open, though I believe it is normally kept locked.
From My Little Blue Window
By Elvis Costello
Well, I was a gloomy soul
Never thought I see a brighter day
The dark interior
Blows those silver clouds away
'Til now this was my view
But I'm counting on you
How am I ever going got make you see?
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily
I want you to be...
My lovely hooligan
Come by and smash my pane
'Til I can see right though
My little blue window

This past Saturday I took part in the 3rd annual Scott Kelby Photo Walk. NLPhotogs organized the event which took place in and around the Battery and Signal Hill walking trail. There was about 25 of us in total that took 2 hours to walk and take pictures together. I took a lot of photo's, and I don't know why but I ended up taking a lot of HDR's. Here some of the photo's I took.

South Aisle Window (detail) by Ninian Comper (1864-1960), 1942.
Christ with SS Peter & Andrew.
Sir John Ninian Comper (1864-1960) was a celebrated church architect and furnisher of the Gothic Revival. He was born in Aberdeen in 1864, the son of John Comper, who was an adherent of the Oxford Movement and ordained into the Scottish Episcopal Church. This Anglo-Catholic influence was important, and is clear in Comper's adherence to Gothic. He worked in the offices of Charles Eamer Kempe and Bodley & Garner before establishing his own practice in the late 1880s, initially with William Bucknall (1851-1944). Almost all of his work was ecclesiastical. His trademark strawberry monogram can be found on many of his stained glass windows.
St John the Baptist's in Whitwick is marked by a handsome west tower and situated on a slope, with the main entrance into the churchyard being higher than most of the church.
The building is mostly of 14th-15th century date with substantial late Victorian restoration, and an almost complete set of windows from this period and beyond (though the work of several different studios). Parts of a medieval screen remain at the west end and a very battered medieval knight lies in the north aisle.
The church is normally open for a couple of hours on most days, exact times given in the link below:-
