The work continues on our new sanctuary. The rose window designed by Ken and Juleen DeLeeuw has been installed.
An angel's wing beats at every window, but only the listening hear and rise. ~Muriel Strode (1875–1964), My Little Book of Life, 1912
This lovely window is in the cloisters of Worcester Cathedral.

This bizarre assembly of a window is in the south aisle and seems to have been filled in three stages from left to right; the left hand figure appears to be c1880 by Lavers & Barraud, whilst the adjoining King David's canopy matches but the figure itself is executed differently, more in the manner of Ward & Hughes. The right hand lights with the Good Samaritan appear to be early 20th century, possibly by Percy Bacon.
A wonderful old church well worth exploring but little visited on the edge of suburban Rugby, but as it's normally kept locked I timed my visit close to a sunday evening service to get in. Very friendly people, but alas little time to get decent photos, though they seemed happy to open up for me if I wanted to return. I've known the church for years having grown up in the area but only been inside a few times years ago, when it used to be more accessible. It was one of the first ancient churches I ever experienced and left a lasting impression.
Despite serving what is now a large suburb of Rugby the church retains a country feel, being cut off from the town by the main line between Birmingham and London, meaning it is completely invsible from Hillmorton itself. Normal approach is thus bizarrely through a tunnel under the railway line that leads to the churchyard!
It's a mainly 13th/14th century building, the west tower is of a rich red sandstone whist the body of the building has been patched up at various dates giving it an attractive unrestored patina. Inside is equally unspoilt, retaining a late Georgian feel with it's furnishings, Royal Arms and whitewashed walls (though oddly just chancel and south aisle have been scraped). Victorian glass is confined to 2 south aisle windows (including one strange piecemeal affair) the main east window with it's intersecting tracery is left plain.
The main items of interest here are the monuments, three medieval tombs and an elegant brass of a lady. Of the effigies the best is the early 14th century lady in the south aisle with wimple and canopy over her head. The nearby knight is more damaged whilst the 13th century priest under an arch in the north aisle (almost hidden behind benches) is badly mutilated.
All in all well worth a look, but unless you're lucky with timing will probably require a phonecall to open up, unfortunately there are no keyholder details.
So, I had a lot of fun with this week's theme. Just walking down the alley behind my work I found all kinds of blue things. It was very hard to decide what to add to the group. I also realized I like old stuff.
One of a pair of new windows installed in 2018 and made by the Art of Glass studio.
St Mary's church Ullenhall, built 1875 by J.P.Seddon.
From the centre of this village near the Warwickshire/Worcestershire border it appears there is nothing here to see that pre-dates the Victorian Era, however the ancient predecessor of this parish church still survives, albeit in truncated form, hidden from view up winding lanes some distance to the northeast of this church.
The Victorian church is really rather charming inside, all white rendered with some interesting flourishes. The only stained glass was until recently the geometric patterns in the seven apse windows, but this has now been joined by two attractive contemporary windows recently added at the west end.
I have always found this church kept locked, and had never been inside before this trip, however making arrangements with the lovely people who look after this church was easy and they kindly enabled me to see inside at last.
