Victorian window in the south aisle at Measham.
St Laurence's at Measham sits tucked back from the town's main street with an open space in front, allowing a good view of the western side (the rest is harder to appreciate being somewhat hemmed in). The most noticeable feature is the tower dating from sometime after 1733 (according to Pevsner). The rest of the building is of 14th century date and unusually appears as simple a spacious nave and aisles, since there is no structural distinction of the chancel, the east window being where one would normally expect to see a chancel arch.
There is some interesting glass, a collection of medieval fragments are arranged into a collage at the west end of the south aisle, whilst many other windows have a patchwork of brightly coloured late Georgian glass in their traceries. Some of these were casting attractive colours across the interior when we called.
I believe this church is usually open to visitors within reasonable hours. We called rather late in the day (after 6pm) but luckily encountered the vicar who was about to lock up and kindly left the church open a little longer for us.
#1465 - 2012 Day 4: I like windows. This one is part of the building that houses my local Indian takeaway. I've passed it thousands of times but have never seen it in twilight with these colours.
Light refreshes, and there is always a new subject in the same old places.
This is a window of a house,and not only a window of a house,but also a window of a inner heart,hoping the power from God.
The St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church at the Treurenberg hill in Brussels, Belgium. In French, it is called Cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule and in Dutch Sint-Michiels- en Sint-Goedelekathedraal, usually shortened to "Sint-Goedele".
In 1047, Lambert II, Count of Leuven founded a chapter in this church and organized the transportation of the relics of Saint Gudula, housed before then in Saint Gaugericus Church on Saint-Géry Island. The patron saints of the church, archangel St. Michael and the martyr St. Gudula, are also the patron saints of the city of Brussels.
In the thirteenth century, the cathedral was renovated in the Gothic style. The choir was constructed between 1226 and 1276. The façade was completed in the mid-fifteenth century.
It is an archiepiscopal cathedral of the Archbishop of Mechlin-Brussels, the Primate of Belgium, currently Archbishop André-Mutien Léonard. It is located in the national capital and therefore often used for Catholic ceremonies of national interest, such as royal marriages and state funerals.
The south tower contains a 49-bell carillon by the Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry on which Sunday concerts are often given.

We have a couple of robins living in our garden. So far, they've always been too shy to come anywhere near the windows. Last year, one came to a tree under our window. This year, however, we've had some pretty crazy weather with the temperatures dropping down to -10 degrees Celsius. So, the robin couple decided to become regular visitors on our "window sill restaurant". And let me tell you, they are two happy customers :-) (If you're wondering what I'm feeding them, it's oatmeal mixed with some melted butter. The birds just LOVE it and you get no pesky grain shells on the ground under the window, like from the sunflower seeds ;-))
(The strange "filter" on the photo is actually my curtain - I could only take a picture through the curtain, since the birds are very shy.)

I walked all over Beacon Hill in the rain this past week. It really was fun because it wasn't raining too hard. Daffodils were everywhere in the window boxes. I guess every one dressed up their homes for Easter. Since the only gardens are the ones "hidden" in back yards, window boxes are "the thing." These bright and cheery daffodils (even in the rain) are only two of the ones I saw.
East window in All Saints' church, Waldringfield, Suffolk. Attributed by Birkin Haward to Lavers & Barraud. c1864. This window, showing the Baptism of Christ, the Crucifixion and the Last Supper was installed in the church during the Victorian reconstruction of the 1860s.
It is sometimes referred to as the Coprolite window, as the restoration was financed from the profits of the local Coprolite trade, a thriving business at the time, in which nodules were dug out of the glebe lands, washed on the nearby beach, then transported by barge down the Deben to Ipswich, where it was mixed with sulphuric acid to make an early form of superphosphate fertiliser.
I have just come back from study abroad and I finally am having a chance to sort through my photos. Lisbon was my favorite city. I fell in love with the old tile houses. Here are a couple of my favorites.

St Editha, Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Dean Memorial Window, 1940 - detail.
By Florence Camm (1874-1960).
To the Glory of Almighty God and in loving memory of Esther Dean who died the 11th day of October 1939. This memorial was placed here by her husband Herbert Dean.
Florence Camm spent all her life in Smethwick, running the successful Camm stained glass company with her two brothers at a time when women artists and designers were struggling to be taken seriously. Florence was a stained glass designer, painter and decorative metalworker. She exhibited 43 times at the Royal Academy in London and also showed at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Royal Scottish Academy.
Florence was the daughter of Thomas William Camm who was born in 1839 in Spon Lane, West Bromwich. He set up the TW Camm stained glass business in Smethwick and Florence and her two brothers, Walter and Robert, continued after he died in 1912. Florence was taught stained glass design by the arts and crafts designer Henry Payne (1868-1940).
Robert died in 1954, Florence in 1960 and Walter in 1967. The firm closed at about the same time. The studio in the High Street in Smethwick was demolished in the 1980s and a shop now stands on the site.
This is one I posted when I first joined Flickr and one of my own personal favorites!!!Windows of Ireland - Gas station window in Ennistymon of County Clare with the ivy growing around it taking on the colors of fall. Reflection in the window is of the house across the street. Ennistymon is a market town close to Lahinch, it is located in the north west of county Clare Ireland. Ennistymon may be reached directly from Ennis by the N85 road through Inagh. The town is known for the traditional shop fronts of its centre and the lively “craic" pubs to be found here during the tourist season. The history of the town is relatively short, it was established as a town only in 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada, which features extensively in the local history all along the Co.Clare coast. The Falls Hotel was originally the residence of the McNamara family, and has since been extended to a hotel. A small river - the Inagh - runs by the town, and descends by means of some small waterfalls, known locally as 'the falls' or 'the cascades'. The best places to view these are from the road bridge and - better still - from inside The Falls Hotel, a short walk off the main street.
The broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments to prevent small crimes such as vandalism, public drinking, and toll-jumping helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening.
