Part of the outstanding scheme of Arts & Crafts glazing in the Lady Chapel at Gloucester, the largest commission ever undertaken by Christopher Whall between 1899 - c1913 (a final half window was added by Veronica Whall in 1926).
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a separate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.

MOTORING TO THE SOUTHERN DISTRICTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Sir,- Motorists visiting those districts are advised to try the following route, and so avoid the abominable Razorback:- After passing over bridge at western end of Campbelltown, turn to left up stiff hill, macadam surface, and then good road for 13 miles through Appin, one mile fair road to Broughton Pass. On reaching the bridge change into first speed to negotiate the stiff hill; from top of hill the road is very good through Wilton (under this village is the Nepean tunnel, which carries the water for Sydney). Six miles from Wilton is the bridge across the Nepean River. Care is required in the descent, for, although the surface and grade are good, the turns are short. First speed will be required for the ascent. One mile further the railway is crossed at Maldon platform; then proceed by the main south road towards Picton. Just beyond the goods yard turn to left (small shop at corner) over railway bridge; then bridge over the creek; at top of hill turn to left. Five miles out is bridge over Bargo River; then 20 miles over excellent road to Mitta-gong. Cars that are able to negotiate the Razorback will experience no difficulty over this route. I am, etc,

MOTORING. - A GOOD RUN.
Mr A E Hezlet made a good run on Wednesday in his car. He left Burwood and drove along the Parramatta, finding the road rough between Flemington and (Granville, and good thence through Parramatta to Baulkham Hills. From there to near Wilberforce it was in fair order, and likewise from Windsor to Richmond, to the Kurrajong, though very dusty near the last named place. The heavy rain had scoured the old Windsor road at Kellyville, and made it rather unpleasant. It was fairly good going on to Westmead thence to Burwood. The distance of the run was 99 miles. The highest speed attained was 40 miles, and the average 21.32 miles per hour.

Transcription
over a quarter of a mile, was a scene of desolation and destruction, far worse than the occasioned by the memorable 1893 flood. A number of houses were wrecked, some quite beyond repairs. A brick house, the residence of Mr Hannan was washed completely away as were many out-houses and fences which stood in the path of the raging torrent. At some parts of the road the water was 8 ro 9 feet deep.
Cummins' dam, a little further up the river than Oakhampton, broke during the day, and a big volume of water rushed towards the railway line, which it wrecked just north of West Maitland Station. The breaking of the dam and the embankment relieved the river considerably, and it began to fall: slowly at first, but rapidly later on. The water continued to rise down South Maitland way, and soon was over the platforms to a depth of about 18 inches. A train left for Newcastle on Friday morning, but proceeded as far as Taro only. That was the last train that left West Maitland Satation for a Week. The water began to fall between Maitland and Morpeth, and on Sunday a train was run from High Street to that place, the passengers being conveyed to Newcastle by boat from there. On Tuesday morning railway communication was restored between High Street Station and Newcastle, and he following Friday it was extended to West Maitland Station. All the trains from the North terminated at Farley, and those from the South at High Street, the passengers and mails being transhipped. It is stated that this is the biggest transipping scheme yet attemped by the railway authorities.
The line at West Maitland Station was damaged to an alarming extent, 300 men working night and day, Sunday as well, in order to restore direct railway communication with the North. A great deal of the lower portions of the town remained under water for some time.
This flood differed in may respects from the much-talked-of '93, being more disastrous. It rose slowly, and stayed stationary for a long time; not so the '93 which rose and fell quickly.
Many parts of the district are still under water, as this little memento is being printed, and it is impossible to say at the present time exactly how much damage was realy done. Fortunatley, there was only one death occasioned by the flood-that of Mr Egan, of Morpeth, who was washed out of a sulky. Had the water broken over at Oakhampton at night, the loss of life would, doubtless, have ben great.

This is a magnificent example of the work of Warwickshire based artist Richard Stubington, a former pupil of the painter George Frederick Watts who learnt stained glass at Birmingham School of Art.
Stubington's work remains little known but amongst the best of it's time. His work can also be seen in the east window at Balsall Common, and in the north chapel at nearby Lapworth.

Brief Synopsis of the 1913 Flood
Rain began on the Tuesday of the preceding week, and continued for several days, being very heavy all along the Hunter Valley. There had been a fresh in the river a week or so before this heavy downpour, and much of the low-lying portions of the district were inundated. Owing to this, the river began to rise almost immediately at Maitland. On Thursday night, word was received from Singleton that the river had attained a height of 47 feet there, and the inhabitants of the lower parts of Maitland began to prepare for the worst. The water rose quickly on Thursday night, and early on Friday Morning, May 16th, had reached 36 feet, and was still rising. The offical record says 36 feet 6 inches as the height of the flood, but there are many who claim that the water reached a higher point than that. It is difficult to say, however, as the gauge was washed away. Eary on Friday morning, the water began to pour into High Street through a laneway near the Hustlers, as well as through several shops in the vicinity. It rushed down the street at a great rate, and soon had the lower portion submerged.
It also began to tricle over the embankment near the Belmore Bridge, at the rear of Marsh's stables, but, luckily, was discovered in time, and blocked by sand-bags. At about 6.15 a.m., the river overflowed the bank at Oakhampton, and the fire bell was rung to warn those living in the direction the water was traveling. Considerable damage was wrought at Oakhampton. From Hall's Creek to Moylan's, a distance of

A delightful sixteen page booklet designed to get customers 'young' in the form of an illustrated alphabet where each letter is used to describe a Jacob's biscuit product or range. This, apparently issued by the Dublin based company in 1913, is illustrated by the popular and famous illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879 - 1964) whose work spanned book illustration, advertising and greetings cards. She is particularly recalled for her drawings of children and their toys. In later years another version of the booklet, illustrated by Chloë Preston was issued.
W. & R. Jacob was founded in Waterford by at least 1851 and moved to Dublin the following year. They became an established producer of sweet and savoury biscuits and opened a major plant in Liverpool in 1914. In 1922 the Irish and British concerns separated and since then the history of the company and the brand has become enormously complicated.

c1913 postcard view of a trolley car in front of the Toledo & Chicago Interurban Railway Company power house at Kendallville, Indiana. The 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Kendallville shows this power plant located southwest of the outlet from Bixler Lake. If Pleasant (Maple) and Mathews (Walnut) Streets had extended south of the outlet, the power plant would have been between those streets. The 80-foot iron chimney was on the south end of the building. This view was looking east-southeast.
The 1914 map set identifies the power house owner as the Fort Wayne & Northwestern Interurban Railway. The name change occurred about 1913.

THE GLOUCESTER HONEYSUCKLE (PALMETTE) TIARA
C1913 - 1914
E. Wolff & Co. on behalf of Garrard
Made in 1913-14 for Queen Mary by E. Wolff & Co. on behalf of Garrard, Mary used some recycled diamonds from the dismantled Surrey Tiara and some newly acquired stones to create a masterpiece. Able to hold the Cullinan V Brooch at the centre, as well as a large diamond and sapphire brooch and a brooch with a pink stone (which has been identified as a pink topaz or possibly a newly discovered stone called a kunzite), this tiara was designed with versatility in mind. And, again true to form, Mary tinkered with the tiara over time, removing some of the diamonds to make it sit lower.
Who knows if she just got tired of it or if her future daughter-in-law admired it, but it was to her that it was gifted upon her wedding to Mary’s son, the Duke of Gloucester. The future Duchess, Alice married the Duke in 1935.
But…. there was a caveat. The Cullinan V didn’t come with the tiara, nor did the other two brooches. Mary kept all three, with the Cullinan remaining with the Crown. Instead, Mary had another central element made to mimic the other scroll-like honeysuckle motifs in the tiara for the centre, and gifted it along with the tiara to Alice. It wasn’t until Mary’s death that Alice inherited the pink brooch and it was reunited with the headpiece. Somewhere along the way, Alice must have also had an emerald brooch commissioned to fit the tiara, as we’ve seen photos of such.
Princess Alice then gave the tiara to her daughter-in-law, Birgitte, the current Duchess of Gloucester, who wears it often, switching out the elements at the centre to compliment her attire. The current Duke and Duchess have one son (the heir apparent) and two daughters, so where the tiara will end up is anyone’s guess.

This looks closer to the original but as we see in the photo section of the video every 2nd element should reflect the style of the centre section. But this is the only copy available of a tiara I have long admired and wanted to add to my collection. The cost as of April 2020, was £52.00 but I see it has now dropped to around £38.00, so go and grab yourself a bargain. Made with cubic zirconia stones it sparkles magically as you will see by the back view I have included in the filming.
St Peter, Wolverhampton, West Midlands.
Memorial Window (detail), c1913.
By Archibald John Davies (1877-1953), Bromsgrove Guild.
To the Glory of God & in affectionate memory of Sarah Eliza Brevett died 16 March 1912. This window was erected by her husband and her children.
Archibald John Davies was born in London but the family moved to Moseley, Birmingham in 1884. He studied under Henry Payne at the Birmingham Municipal Central School of Art and set up his own studio in Moseley in about 1900. In 1906 Davies moved to Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and established his studio in the premises of the Bromsgrove Guild.
Probably not the Pacific Highway given the allotments either side of the road. We also know that Hezlet took photographs from Stanwell Tops, so this may have been taken on what is now the Lawrence Hargrave Drive.
Photographed by Arthur Ernest Hezlet (c1861 - 1929) of Burwood, New South Wales. He occasionally wrote to the local newspaper about his car-trips (with his wife and chauffeur):

MOTORING TO THE SOUTHERN DISTRICTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Sir,- Motorists visiting those districts are advised to try the following route, and so avoid the abominable Razorback:- After passing over bridge at western end of Campbelltown, turn to left up stiff hill, macadam surface, and then good road for 13 miles through Appin, one mile fair road to Broughton Pass. On reaching the bridge change into first speed to negotiate the stiff hill; from top of hill the road is very good through Wilton (under this village is the Nepean tunnel, which carries the water for Sydney). Six miles from Wilton is the bridge across the Nepean River. Care is required in the descent, for, although the surface and grade are good, the turns are short. First speed will be required for the ascent. One mile further the railway is crossed at Maldon platform; then proceed by the main south road towards Picton. Just beyond the goods yard turn to left (small shop at corner) over railway bridge; then bridge over the creek; at top of hill turn to left. Five miles out is bridge over Bargo River; then 20 miles over excellent road to Mitta-gong. Cars that are able to negotiate the Razorback will experience no difficulty over this route. I am, etc,

MOTORING. - A GOOD RUN.
Mr A E Hezlet made a good run on Wednesday in his car. He left Burwood and drove along the Parramatta, finding the road rough between Flemington and (Granville, and good thence through Parramatta to Baulkham Hills. From there to near Wilberforce it was in fair order, and likewise from Windsor to Richmond, to the Kurrajong, though very dusty near the last named place. The heavy rain had scoured the old Windsor road at Kellyville, and made it rather unpleasant. It was fairly good going on to Westmead thence to Burwood. The distance of the run was 99 miles. The highest speed attained was 40 miles, and the average 21.32 miles per hour.
