My quick study of Kurt Huggins and Zelda Devon's stunning illustration for the short story "Fragments of a Imaginary Life" by Josh Roundtree and Mikal Trimm. (Dec 08 issue of RoF)
loved both the image and the story
St John the Baptist's church in Brinklow is an attractive largely 15th century building standing on high ground, a position especially apparent within as the floor level rises considerably towards the east end, the altar being set much higher than the west end of the nave.
The nave and west tower are rather rustic examples of the Perpendicular style, though the church's origins are much earlier with the chancel still largely a 13th century structure.
The church was restored in the Victorian period from which time date some of the brightly coloured windows, but the most important glass consists of a few early 15th century fragments, some depicting birds, found in the north and south aisles.
The church is generally open and welcoming to visitors.

Iron wood (tieli wood) table, chairs, parts of beams and pillars from dismantled temples of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
One of Ai's most ambitious sculptures, Fragments is an amalgamation of his Furniture and Map series. Created using architectural salvage from four temples and items of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the work at first appears to be a random construction made from unrelated objects. As Ai says: 'Everything is misfit and connected wrongly.' Yet when it is seen from above - a physical impossibility within the gallery - the timber frame is revealed as a map of China including Taiwan (represented by the conjoined stools).
The sculpture can be traversed, allowing the visitor obliviously to permeate the borders of China and cross the country freely, much as tourists do when they visit, in a way that the Chinese citizens cannot. The different geographic and ethnographic identities of the country are rendered immaterial and China is presented as a skeleton. Despite its robust construction, this skeletal form suggests an inherent fragility that can be seen as a commentary on the concept of 'One China', the state-sponsored policy aimed at protecting and promoting China's sovereignty and territorial intergrity.
Offcuts of the salvaged timbers used to make Fragments were kept and used to create Kippe.
Duncan Rawlinson created this piece using a combination of contemporary photography and artificial intelligence techniques. The image explores the latent space, presenting a futuristic and abstract vision that reflects the intersection of technology and art. The intricate patterns and forms highlight the potential of AI in generating unique and compelling visual aesthetics.
Fragments of 15th century stained glass, all that remains of the church's pre-Reformation glazing, gathered into a south clerestorey window in the chancel.
The most northerly church in Leicestershire is also one of its very best, St Mary's at Bottesford is a grand enough structure in its own right, a fine building of mainly 14th/15th century date with a soaring spire, but a chancel full of monuments to the Roos and Manners families (the successive Earls of Rutland) make it unmissable, like Westminster Abbey in miniature.
Despite Leicestershire's notoriety for locked churches this one is happily normally open daily from 9am-5pm.
Three of the largest fragments, the one on top showing the hairline about a third of the way from the left. It has darkened with age.
Fragment of original roof from the famous roman bath house in the city of Bath.
The bath is now open to the sky. This large piece of roof was found in the water.
