North chancel window by Roger Fifield 1990, depicting Christ calling the children unto him.
St Mary's dominates the village of Newton Regis and serves the most northerly parish in Warwickshire.
The building itself is aisleless but with a later clerestorey and quite light inside, being mainly plain glazed except for the odd medieval fragment here and there and two recent windows by Warwickshire based artist Roger Fifield.
The outstanding medieval feature here however is on the north side of the sanctuary, a highly unusual 14th century priest's tomb in a recess with a slab in high relief portraying a praying bust of the deceased amidst canopywork (inhabited by angels) with two kneeling mourners below, a unique composition as far as I know, worn but still enjoyable.

24th November 2013 at Queen Elizabeth Hall (Front Room), London SE1.
London Jazz Festival (free event), www.londonjazzfestival.org.uk/.
Country: Britain - Scotland. Style: Jazz - Modern.
Lineup: Fraser Fifield (low whistle/soprano sax/border pipes), Benjamin Flament (vibraphone), Gilles Coronado (g), Gildas Etevenard (d).
Brought up in Aberdeenshire, Fraser Fifield has continually moved between the folk (e.g. Old Blind Dogs) and jazz (e.g. his own duo with Graeme Stephen and larger groups) scenes and other collaborations (e.g. Salsa Celtica). This group grew out of meeting Benjamin Flament through the Take Five - Europe programme run by Serious. The tunes, written or selected by Fifield, includes a traditional pibroch, a Cape Breton piece (learnt via Capercaillie) and one on a Bulgarian style.

Detail of the north nave window at Burton Hastings, installed in 2001 and designed by local artist Roger Fifield.
Fifiled's work makes a very attractive contemporary adition to this ancient building, and is beautifully painted and stylised, echoing his earliest work from the 1960s, without looking backwards.
The subject appears to be a celebration of village life, with various landmark buildings and elements of the village featured without any obvious religious theme (beyond the small dove in the tracery light above).
This formula for stained glass seems to be popular with certain congregations, who prefer to commemorate 'down-to-earth' subjects of mainly local, secular relevance, than convey a spiritual message. The artist is then given a 'shopping list' of relevant features to include in the design at all cost!

South chancel window depicting Christ's call to the fishermen by Roger Fifield, 1985.
St Catherine's church dominates the centre of Burbage, particularly its tapering west steeple which is such a landmark of this attractive village. At first glance it appears to be a substantial medieval parish church, but most of what we see today is actually the result of a major rebuilding in 1842 by architect M. Habershon.
There are parts of the medieval building still preserved but they are difficult to detect as the rebuilt church has weathered enough to appear more ancient than it is. The tower is largely still the 14th century one, and the chancel arch within is another reminder of the old building (replete with quirky head carvings on its capitals). Most of the rest is early Victorian, aside from the large extension recently added to the north side of the church, albeit in a sympathetic style which works well as a continuation of the space within.
The interior is light and uncommonly broad owing to the aforementioned extension off the north aisle which adds so much to the internal space. The chancel is fairly small by comparison with the spacious nave and accessed through the arch with its amusing carvings. The old font remains and there is an incised alabaster slab of the Elizabethan period in the south aisle. The south door is attractively carved and dates from 1633. There is some Victorian glass in the south aisle and east end and a more recent window in the chancel.
The church is normally locked outside of services aside from certain weekdays when there are coffee mornings. I was lucky enough to check as a midweek morning service had finished and was thus able to look around inside properly for the first time (despite being familiar with the exterior for so many years thanks to the view of it from a friend's window nearby).

On Saturday (October 24), campaigners for the release from Guantánamo of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison, held a vigil on Whitehall, opposite 10 Downing Street, to mark Shaker's 5000th day in Guantánamo, and the last day before his anticipated return from Guantánamo. The photo shows Andrew Fifield of The Four Fathers (who plays flute and harmonica) holding up a sign marking '1 day to go' until the date of his expected return. I'm the lead singer and main songwriter in The Four Fathers, and at the vigil we played 'Song for Shaker Aamer', the song I wrote that is featured on our debut album, 'Love and War', and that was used in the We Stand With Shaker campaign video.
President Obama announced Shaker's release on September 25, and Congress was then given a 30-day notification period, as required in US law in recent years. During the 30 days, Shaker told his lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith of Reprieve, that he had embarked on a hunger strike because of ill-treatment, and that he feared not making it out of Guantánamo alive, and as a result, myself and Joanne MacInnes, the founders and directors of the We Stand With Shaker campaign, set up Fast For Shaker, to encourage supporters to fast for 24 hours, on a day of their choice, in solidarity with Shaker, to encourage him to give up his hunger strike (which he did), and to keep up the pressure on the US and UK governments to make sure his release is not further delayed. We are encouraging people to sign up to fast until Shaker is released.
The vigil was organised by the Save Shaker Aamer Campaign, with support from other groups including We Stand With Shaker and the London Guantánamo Campaign.

Detail of the west window at Bedworth, depicting a stylised St Luke seemingly merging with an otherwise totally abstract background.
This striking window is the work of local artist Roger Fifield and dates from 1965 (a more recent window by the same artist can be seen at Burton Hastings church).
The west end of Bedworth church was extensively reordered and subdivided in the 1990s, with the result that this window is now somewhat dificult to see from within the main body of the church. It is best to ascend the staircase at the west end of the north aisle and access what is now the ringers chamber beneath the old west tower to view this work.

"The child is almost certainly a girl, and I'd guess this to be the 1880s based on the fashion. Those brass buttons were in style, and not necessarily military related. The girl and the woman look alike, so I'd guess them to be blood relations." -- lauralemur'
