The Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Ilkley is a remarkable blend of traditional and modern architecture, with an entrance porch and apse in Victorian Gothic and north and south nave extensions dating from the 1970s with a saw-tooth wall arrangement, inspired by Coventry cathedral.
More remarkable still is the complete glazing scheme of contemporary stained glass, all executed in the dalle de verre ('slab of glass') wherein thick chunks of coloured glass are set in a concrete or resin matrix (as opposed to traditional lead). The technique was popular in the 1960s and 70s but sharply declined since, largely due to many such windows latterly suffering from heat expansion, leakages or structural problems.
The exceptional scheme of dalle de verre windows at Ilkley includes both windows with concrete and windows with resin matrixes; The earliest windows are those in the apse which utilise concrete, being the work of Pierre Fourmaintraux of Whitefriars. The remaining windows in the nave were executed with resin and supplied by John Hardman Studios of Birmingham in the late 1970s.
These dalle de verre windows ably illustrate the richness and potential of large scale uses of the technique. Current research will hopefully find solutions to the problems encountered with the technique and may hopefully one day lead to a resurgence in the medium.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FAVS AND LOVELY COMMENTS. THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
Took a shot of this great window in an 200 year old country-house. The first thing I thought, that Tim Burton must have grown up in a room with such an window ;-)
Just love it! Although I could be scary for the kid living in this room...

East Window, 1971.
By John Hayward (1929-2007).
John David Hayward (1929-2007) was a stained-glass artist who designed and made nearly 200 windows throughout Britain and abroad. From 1974, he devoted himself to glass, but before that he also designed and made what he called “other things” for church interiors.
He was born in Tooting into a Methodist family and was educated at Tooting Bec Grammar School. Later, at St Martin’s School of Art, he was impressed by Seurat and Piero della Francesca, who used the device of figures in a landscape as a language to express ideas. Another intriguing study was images of the Byzantine mosaics in Ravenna.
Although offered a place at the Royal College of Art, he decided to join Faithcraft, designing church furniture and arranging whole interiors where glass was one important element. He was influenced by the architectural principles of Laurence King and Cachemaille-Day, who were interested in the Liturgical Movement, which was concerned with what churches were for, not what they should look like. In 1961 he became freelance and set up a studio in Bletchingley, close to the headquarters of the Southwark Ordination Course.
There was a great demand for artists in the post-war church-building boom, and his first major commission was a scheme of windows for the ruined Wren church St Mary-le-Bow. It was the beginning of 13 years when he worked on glass and “other things”. After 1974, the demand for new church furniture declined, but churches still wanted stained glass, and he created a stream of windows. He always worked alone.
Installed in 1641, the work of local artist, François Bierges, this is one of three roae windows in Auch cathedral.

Porque no supiste entender a mi corazón
lo que había en él porque no tuviste el valor de ver quien soy
porque no escuchas lo que esta tan cerca de ti
sólo el ruido de afuera y yo
que estoy a un lado desaparezco para ti
No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós me despido de ti
Porque sé que me espera algo mejor
alguien que sepa darme amor
de ese que endulza la sal y hace que salga el sol
yo que pensé nunca me iría de ti
que es amor del bueno de toda la vida
pero hoy entendí que no hay suficiente para los dos
No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós me despido de ti
Me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti
me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti
me voy

Read that this month's 2009/365 theme was THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND DOORS OF OUR LIVES so just pointed camera at the window to show what I see when I sit at my desk!
The old cabin
has a window
overlooking a lake.
hidden in summer
when trees are dressed...
yet ever so present
once Autumn arrives...
it doesn't take her long
to make a date
with old man winter..
Their lovers you know..
(doesn't everyone know?)
she sends him autum kisses
made of leaves
dancing in the cold winds..
(she left a few for me
tucked on the window)
Just before He arrives
she changes things..
(green is not
her favorite color..)
she paints them red
yellow and mauve,
orange..even purple..
then she strips them naked
to prove her promice
of dancing
into winter...
I have been told
in late September
the old man stands
at this window
watching Her ......

For Window Wednesdays and a MOOC class project.
Here we have two glass windows with reflections and a window that has been bricked up.
The whole of the scene has been camouflaged in a blanket of shadows from a couple of trees near the building.
Captured with iPhone and Hipstamatic's Oggl App, using the Lucifer VI lens and Rock BW-11 Film combination.
The contrast of light and dark were very extreme and this combo really caught that scene well.
Millennium window in the south aisle by Andrew Taylor, an attractive display of rich colour incorporating scenes of rural life.
St Mary's at Shawbury was my last church of the day, but as it was now nearly 6pm hopes of getting inside were fading, but the door yielded nonetheless!
It is marked by a particularly fine late medieval pinnacled west tower. Much of the building is otherwise late Norman, including the nave arcades with some interesting carved capitals. The font is Norman too, a tub carved with purely non figurative ornament including rope molding.
The wide interior culminates in a Perpendicular chancel with a plain glazed east window, but nearby is one window crammed full of early 15th century fragments including bits of an Annunciation and canopywork. The modern window in the south aisle with rural, secular imagery really grew on me.
Window at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Bilton, Warwickshire.
This composite panel was made up of 'leftover' pieces of one of the former side windows of the nave, displaced when the church was extended in 1990. Other parts have been incorporated into windows two similar windows nearby.
Originally built in 1958 on a traditional plan with an oblong nave and chancel in one chamber, the church was dramatically re-organised and extended in the early 1990s under the guidance of Fr Paul Chamberlain, wherein the axis of the church was re-orientated by 90 degrees with a centralised granite block altar in what was the heart of the old nave. The 'south' nave wall was removed to allow an extended aisle and ambulatory on this side. The former main entrance narthex was blocked up to create what is now the Blessed Sacrament chapel.
One of the most dramatic innovations in the re-ordered church is the full immersion fount, a cruciform marble pool set into the floor before the altar, evoking the earliest method of Christian Baptism by immersion in the River Jordan.
The two main stained glass windows on either side of the old nave were removed and re-sited in truncated form in the new extension, and in the place of the northern one a large crucifix (painted by Fr Chamberlain) has been set up as a focus behind the new altar. The six high windows on this wall are the latest addition to the church and are my own work from 1999.
