One of the 13th century windows of the south choir aisle at Chartres. The left hand light incorporates famous depictions of the signs of the Zodiac.
Sadly I lacked a decent zoom lens and tripod to really do any justice to the wealth of wonderful glass here.

The Monastery of Sant Cugat is a Benedictine abbey in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in the 9th century, and built until the 14th century, it was the most important monastery in the county of Barcelona. It has its main feature in the large cloister, in Romanesque style.

One for the windows set (although you would have thought just one pane might survive). Originally built as a corn warehouse built in 1857 for the Great Northern Railway Company, it was designed by Nottingham Architect T C Hine in conjunction with the adjacent main station building on London Road. Thanks to Fishfingers & Custard for the links below that tell you much more about this building, the arson attempts and the dead bodies found here.
Place the window diagonally in the rubber, placing a corner in rubber groove,slide the higher corner down until the glass seats in the rubber.
I'm left handed but work from whichever side you feel comfortable.

Just one of those chance moments. A couple of weekends ago, when it was really hot I happened to see this on the kitchen floor.
Obviously not my kitchen floor - my kitchen floor would never be that clean.
After tackling some rather hilly ground just east of Daventry I arrived at Newnham, a village I'd not visited for nearly four decades. It is a pleasant place with some attractive buildings and a rather handsome church whose appearance remained ingrained in my memory for the unusual way the tower and spire sit above a base open with arches on three sides, making it look as if the whole edifice is about to stride into the street on its 'legs'!
The present church is of mostly 14th to 15th century date and built of the attractively coloured local ironstone. The tower with its open lowest stage is a remarkable feature, the space underneath being covered by a vaulted ceiling. The south porch is clearly later, a somewhat rustic addition from c1619. Most of the aisle and chancel windows are fairly large with Perpendicular style tracery.
Within the church is spacious and light, thanks largely to the aforementioned generously sized windows. Aside from two early Victorian windows at the west end there is a surprising lack of imagery in most of the 19th century glass here which may suggest a fairly low-church congregation at the time; much of the glazing is patterned and decorative rather than pictorial, with just the traceries containing iconography. A couple of ancient elements remain mixed in with these but are easily missed. Otherwise the main medieval feature of note is the mid 15th century brass of Lady Letitia Catesby affixed to the wall by the pulpit at the east end of the south aisle.
Newnham church is a very picturesque building worth a look and happily is normally open and welcoming to visitors.
