Traceries of the westernmost window of the south side of the Beauchamp Chapel at St Mary's, Warwick. Very little original glass survives in the chapel's westernmost windows, perhaps as a result of their proximity to the parts of the church destroyed by fire in 1694. The ancient glass in these two windows mostly consists of a patchwork of fragments, mostly originating from the chapel but with a few pieces of differing dates from elsewhere in the church (or inserted by Victorian restorers).
Frammenti di pensiero,
Erranti nel mio errare
Si elevano nel cielo
attraverso riflessi di piombo.
Fragments of thought,
Wandering in my wandering
Break to the sky
Through their concrete reflections.

Inspired by the photographic works of Zdizslaw Beksinski. I used a styrofoam head and mirrors to get this effect. At the time I was also looking at Cubism while conceptualizing the theory of Reconstructive Memory within Cognitive Psychology.
A surviving fragment of late 15th century stained glass in one of the south aisle window traceries.
St Mary & St Leodegarius at Ashby St Ledgers is one of my favourite churches, a place I've known since childhood having grown up nearby but had not revisited for some 30 years until now.
This lovely ironstone building sits back in its own leafy enclosure forming a group with the adjacent outbuildings of the manor to the north of the churchyard. The church itself appears to be mainly 14th century (especially the tower and south porch) but the enlarged aisle windows all appear to be Perpendicular work of a century later and do much to enhance the edifice inside and out.
The interior is a churchcrawler's delight with much of interest from ancient woodwork and wall-paintings to the fine series of brasses (mostly to the Catesby family whose ancestral home is next door). Some of the brasses require seeking out being hidden under carpets or trapdoors, so my prior experience from childhood brass-rubbing trips here helped (two further brasses that were removed by an antiquarian in the mid-19th century have now rejoined them having returned to the church from Northamptonshire County Record Office in 2003, but alas they are located in the locked north chapel so can only be glimpsed through the gate).
The chancel beyond the ancient screen is the darkest area of the church (and wears a more early 19th century feel as a result of the glass of that date) but there is still sufficient light to appreciate the fine collection of sculpted 17th & 18th century wall-mounted monuments, mostly covering the north wall (this wall was formed by blocking in the arcade to the north chapel, the arches of which are still visible on the other side. A south chapel also existed originally but has long since vanished).
One of the best aspects of this church is its delightfully musty atmosphere, one can almost smell the layers of history upon entering. And history has certainly played out here with the Gunpowder plotters who reputedly met in the timber-framed gateway adjoining the churchyard and Robert Catesby's neighbouring former home (private but visible over the churchyard wall).
Ashby St Ledgers church is happily normally kept open and welcoming to visitors and is well worth seeing, it is a place of great interest and real charm.

Late medieval fragments in the chancel traceries.
St Peter's church stands on the eastern fringe of the sprawling village of Thurston. It is a substantially sized building but upon closer inspection it is clear that this is a mainly Victorian building, rebuilt by John Henry Hakewill following the collapse of the medieval tower and much of the nave (the rest of which collapsed a mere ten days later) in 1860. The original 15th century chancel alone survives, and its Perpendicular style and vast windows contrasts with the Decorated style so favoured by Victorian architects and used for the rebuilt nave and aisles.
The loss of so much of the medieval church lowers one's expectations on entering the church and the interior thus revealed is very much a Victorian recreation, though surprisingly successful in blending the old and new parts of the building, more sympathetic than many such endeavours have been. The atmosphere of a medieval church isn't entirely lost either as ancient features and fittings remain, some striking fragments of medieval glass have been reinstated in the south aisle and further pieces can be found in the chancel traceries (where otherwise great expanses of late 19th / early 20th century glass by Ward & Hughes abounds). There are also a few intriguing late medieval carved benches and a fine 14th century font carved with foliate designs (and two Green Men) that somehow survived the collapse of the tower and nave.
St Peter's is kept open and welcoming to visitors, as a nice gentleman reassured me on my approach to the church. Do not be put off by this being a largely rebuilt church as there are good features to enjoy.

This city is going to live forever, as some historian said..
Sometimes I just fell like I have to shoot something, or maybe I was just tired of waiting... This is one of these photos, a glimpse, some fragments of different things happening, everything is incomplete, as in life we can't ever see it all, and the 'all' is often different from the 'parts'.
St Mary, Buxhall, Suffolk
A big church in a dramatic, rural setting high above a valley. Although over-restored, it is not without interest, and has a large collection of fragments of medieval glass.
It occurs to Marian, as it always does when she's faced with a decision that affects the entire future, that it's possible that she's living a in a hologram, a simulates reality, meant to keep her infinite mind busy so she doesn't notice the cycles of the pixelated sun and scheduled rains to keep the crops supporting the illusion of reality that she tries so hard to shake.
