East window of St Andrew's, Chelmondiston, Suffolk. The original church (medieval with substantial Victorian restoration) was pretty much flattened by a flying bomb in 1944 ( doubtless intended for Ipswich Docks further up the river) and, after a complete new build this stained glass was installed at the East end in 1961. The arist was Francis Skeat.

The church of St Nikolaus dominates the small town of Walbeck with its soaring steeple. It is a large, impressive building of mostly 15th century date (though much older in origin) consisting of nave, south aisle and an apsed chancel.
We visited with the artist Joachim Klos, who was responsible for designing the entire glazing scheme for the church in the 1980s. This sequence is highly symbolic in nature and takes as its overall theme the soul's journey towards the Heavenly Jerusalem, with much use of gold with an otherwise limited palette, and many Baroque elements incorporated into the designs inspired by the church's organ-case. It is a very striking sequence (if a little difficult to decipher) and thanks to its minimal colouring leaves the church flooded with light.

St Ann, Manchester, 1709-12.
Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Window, 1897.
By Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
This north aisle window was installed in commemoration of The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. After a bomb attack by the IRA on Manchester in 1996 the window was restored in memory of Maria Isabella Blythe Nicholls (1898-1985).
Clement Heaton (1824-1882).
James Butler (1830-1913).
Robert Turnill Bayne (1837-1915).
Clement Heaton, the son of a Methodist minister in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, was in 1851 a glass painter for William Holland of Warwick. He was in London by 1853 and briefly in business alone before going into partnership with James Butler in 1855. Around 1860 the two briefly shared premises with Clayton and Bell, an association of lasting importance, as the third member of the firm, Robert Turnill Bayne, who was also from Warwick and became chief designer in 1862, was an employee of theirs. Heaton pioneered the use of softer colours, but Bayne’s advent brought the firm to widespread attention. Most of their earlier glass was gothic in style, but the firm adapted to later influences, notably that of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The firm was used widely by Sir Arthur Blomfield, but in later years less of its output was glass for churches. Heaton’s son Clement John joined for a short time, but fell out with his partners. The firm continued until 1953 under descendants of other partners, after which most of its archives were destroyed for lack of interest.
This collection of windows awaits installation at one of Toronto's West Donlands building projects. It must be worth a lot. I know. Several years ago we replaced all the windows in our century home and the job didn't come cheap.
Incidentally, from time to time I reflect on the miracle of windows. For most of mankind's history we didn't have glass windows to let in the light and keep out the weather. Thank goodness for glass.
I caught someone peeking out the old window as I was walking by. Could not resist catching her picture.

I have recently read an article from a wedding photographer who never uses a flash. relying on natural light aided by an occasional reflector. Needless to say the results she achieved were remarkable.
It was in my head when I took this (unawares) portrait of an old friend of mine as he stared into space for a moment.

British Embassy Dublin. Reception to mark the lending of the Sendler window to the Embassy. April 2017
Designed by Francis Spear and dedicated in 1929, this window in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Eccles, Lancashire was donated by the sons of Dr William Worrell Mayo, in memory of their father. Dr Mayo was baptised in Eccles in 1819 but emigrated to the USA in 1845 and died in Rochester, Minnesota in 1911. His two sons also became surgeons and the three men worked together in St Mary's Hospital in Rochester when it was opened by the Sisters of St Francis in 1889.
In 1909 the father and his two sons set up the world's first integrated group practice, which is now the world renowned Mayo Clinic, with a staff of almost two thousand. The emblems in the window were specifically chosen to illustrate Dr Mayo's interests and achievements.
