West window of the south aisle at St Augustine's, Edgbaston. All three of the Victorian windows in the west wall of the church were damaged by bombing, this one retains some heads from the bomb damaged glass by Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
St Augustine's church in Edgbaston was built in 1868 by local architect J.A.Chatwin (the French inspired tower and spire were added in 1876, Pevsner calls it's proportions 'really horrid', which may be a little harsh!).
Inside most of the fittings are the original Victorian ones with much stained glass by Hardman's and Heaton, Butler & Bayne (some windows replaced after war damage). The chancel also has an attractive painted ceiling.
The church is set back from the busy main arteries of the city in a residential area, and is generally kept open for visitors and private prayer.
All Saints at Thurcaston is a mainly 14th century building with alterations made in the 15th century, from which period dates most of the fine collection of fragments of medieval glass deposited in the central light of the east window. Some of these ancient elements of glass are more complete, including heads, angels, roundels and a donor figure.
The church consists of a nave, chancel and west tower, along with a north aisle running almost the full length of the building. The interior preserves a more unspoilt, ancient atmosphere as it has not been too heavily affected by later restoration. There is an ancient wooden screen in the north aisle, originally the rood screen and one of the earliest surviving in the country (alas I failed to realise this at the time so do not have detailed shots of it). The nave roof is supported on some amusing medieval carved head corbels.

The church is well worth a visit but sadly kept locked outside of services so a phonecall may be necessary to see inside.
St John the Baptist's at Aston Cantlow preserves many antique features despite a restoration by Butterfield in 1850 (which is most evident in the south wall of the nave).
The north aisle and chancel have good Decorated tracery and the south wall of the latter leans dramatically inside. There is an attractive 15th century font, some old woodwork, fragments of 14th century glass and Victorian windows by Michael O'Connor and Charles Eamer Kempe.
These photos are from two seperate visits in 2006 and 2009 respectively; The chancel is currently (March 2010) closed whilst major restoration is undertaken, including the removal of the glazing for releading at Norgrove Studios.

Avon Dassett has two churches which comes as a surprise for so small a village, both with spires and both now closed for worship sadly due to dwindling congregations. The older church of St John the Baptist is the more elusive of the two, despite its elevated position on the hillside at the north end of the village, as it is so engulfed by trees in its rather cramped churchyard, its spire just reaching above them to assert its presence.
The ancient church was completely rebuilt in 1868-9 to the designs of Charles Buckeridge in beautiful deep golden brown Hornton stone (an ironstone with the colouring of well baked-bread) and consists of a west tower and steeple with nave and north aisle culminating in a chancel on high ground at the east end. The former east window of the old church was retained but relocated to the opposite end of the building where it became the west window of the tower.
Trying to appreciate the exterior is difficult, given the lack of space in the churchyard and the dense foliage surrounding it. The building reveals itself in parts and glimpses through the trees rather mysteriously. The best external view to be had is from the steep slope immediately to the north, but alas when I last visited this was facing directly into the sun! On my first visit the tower was scaffolded so it took me two visits to actually form an idea of what this church even looked like, and it remains a challenge to photographers even now.
Stepping inside brings us to a large open space, impressively lofty and rising to a crescendo in the chancel which is significantly higher than the nave and reached by steps. The lighting is subdued owing to the surrounding trees and the colouring of the bare stonework, but it is a pleasing sight and pleasantly cool on a hot day. The north arcade is convincingly early 13th century in style despite being fully Victorian so it is tempting to assume it's a remnant of the old church, but there are only two of these remaining, one the aforementioned west window with a single panel of medieval glass fragments (including the figure of a bishop) and the other is a very fine tomb in the chancel, a beautiful early 14th century cusped recess containing an early 13th century effigy of a tonsured deacon, both in surprisingly good condition and the best feature of interest here.
This church is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and generally kept open daily for visitors.

Final design for my project Fragments. The two silhouettes hang at A1 size with the wording and the word WHOLE then hung underneath, strung like bunting.
I was gutted I didn't have the SLR with me, phone camera pic - my first photo of CHA fragments. The phone camera sensor has really downplayed the saturation, but there are two fragments visible. This was actually my 3rd sighting of CHA fragments this year. I have a feeling that fragments are actually fairly common around this time of year, but you do really have to know where to look - they can be fairly ephemeral!
The building in the centre on the horizon is the new Strata development at Elephant and Castle. To the left, Crystal Palace transmitter and to its right, the Croydon transmitter are also visible.
When Laurel Hill Cemetery was relocated to Colma, any unclaimed headstones were broken up and put to various uses in various locations. These gravestone fragments line a gutter alongside a path in Buena Vista Park.
' no one can stop me, i wont stand still'
tracy fragments--
i had a date with the dawn.
but he left
so i spent the morning with you.
we watched the sun.
so everyone got their heart broken.
isn't that what we wanted.
-more sleep-
cheers,
This photograph was taken at a wedding. It must have been connected to my father's family as his mother and sister appear in the other fragment. It was printed on thick cardboard and not looked after, hence the disintegration. My father, on the right, wearing peaked cap, is the only person i recognise.
Fragments of the Sli Mor from Turoe to Athenry (two lower) and from Athenry Southwest (top) to Caheradrine's massive 'toll-gate' entrepot near Ath Clee Magh Ri seaport terminal at Clarenbridge (It is reconed there to be 'Ireland's oldest highway'). Clarinbridge's Black Rock was its western terminal and outlet through Ballynamanagh River to the Dunbulcaun Bay ancient seaport. From Caheradrine (Fidig fort) where Eoghan Mor of Munster based his Duhallow defenders, the Oga Bethra; Lec 164; Rc. xvii, 7; Ca 302; Laud 610) it diverged to Ath Clee Magh Ri, Caher na Managh on Clarin River, Roy Mor, Dun Cethelen and Stradbally. It converged on Turoe but not on Tara, confounding pseudo history. The Sli Mor segment from Turoe to Athenry and thence to Clarinbridge may have been built when Medb was queen of Ól nÉcmacht and had her royal residence at Athenry. The older segment of the Sli Mor which ran straight from Turoe to Ath Clee Magh Ri near Clarinbridge then became known as Rot na Ri.

Quand on tient un bon sujet difficile de choisir ses photos.
Je me suis vraiment fait plaisir tant à la prise de vue qu'au traitement.
J’espère que vous en aurez aussi.
