Detail of the east window at Oadby, probably the work of Powells and perhaps even designed by Henry Holiday, but sadly suffering from severe paint loss.
St Peter's church at Oadby is distinguished by a tall early 14th century broach spire and a later Perpendicular nave with clerestorey (whose height clearly exceeds that intended by the builders of the earlier tower).
The sense of height is apparent inside where the nave appears tall for its short length. The walls have been scraped back to the stone during the Victorian restoration but luckily the clerestorey admits enough light to compensate for this (aside from in the chancel).
There are a few decent late 19th/early 20th century windows.
I believe the church is normally kept locked outside of services.

Potsdam
Das Holländische Viertel wurde zwischen 1733 und 1742 im Zuge der zweiten Stadterweiterung Potsdams unter Leitung des holländischen Baumeisters Johann Boumann erbaut. Das Viertel besteht aus 134 Ziegelstein-Häusern, die durch die Mittel- und Benkertstraße in vier Karrees nach dem Konzept eines barocken Stadtgrundrisses aufgeteilt werden. Es gilt als größtes zusammenstehendes Bauensemble und Kulturdenkmal holländischen Stils außerhalb der Niederlande in Europa.
The view from my home a few years back; a room in the Nurse's Accommodation at Brighton General Hospital, Elm Grove, Brighton, East Sussex. A montage made up from a number of poor quality, somewhat lurid, wide angle mobile phone / camera phone snapshots.
The view overlooks Pankhurst Avenue. Whitehawk Hill TV transmitter can be seen in the distance, and also the sea.
The hospital (but not the Nurse's Accommodation building) was once the Victorian Workhouse for Brighton. The "Undeserving Poor" were locked up, forced to work a 12 hour day and made to wear a distinctive uniform. A work colleague once bought a vintage dress, and was then dismayed to be told by her mother that it was such a uniform.
