Cement fragment, graffiti. 1990s.
This fragment placed on a plaque is an example of the memorialization of discarded objects which are technically trash. The role of the wall transcends its lack of intrinsic value as a piece of crumbling concrete to evoke the euphoria of November 9, 1989.
Remaining fragments of stained glass of the 9 orders of angels in the 15c tracery.

Fragments of medieval glass in the heads of one of the aisle windows.
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.

St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham, Norfolk
Externally unassuming, and largely rebuilt over a period of thirty years or so from the 1880s. The interior however is a spectacular jewel of a church, everything focused on the sumptuous chancel, a 1911 memorial to King Edward VII who had been bought the Sandringham estate by his mother Queen Victoria when he was Prince of Wales.
Much of the glass is by Kempe & Co including an arrangement of poor fragments of continental glass. In the upper lights and in the porch are a series of 14 saints in late medieval glass, some of them much restored.

St Margaret, Thrandeston, Suffolk
Fascinating church in a deliciously remote and pretty village in north Suffolk.
This is a fragment of 15th Century glass, and probably depicts part of the eagle symbol of St John the Evangelist..

Das Bild passt nun überhaupt nicht zu den vorherigen. Aber so ist es halt.
Habe lange gebraucht um festzustellen ob es hier rein darf, oder nicht. Und je öfter ich es mir angeschaut habe, je mehr pro wave wurde ich. Hoffe ihr habt trotzdem etwas Spaß damit. Wenn nicht lade ich morgen noch so eins hoch. Ätsch! :P
