Most inflight sale magazines in North America, particularly on American airlines seem to sell "as-seen-on-tv" items, this is not the case in the UK. I was quite tempted by a number of the items featured in the BA catalogue. This umbrella, for example.
There can't be many pf these left in the world. At least not this combination of classics. Very tempting.
St Michael's at Sutton on the Hill sits in a pleasant spot surrounded by open countryside and forms a handsome landmark punctuating the countryside. At first glance it is apparent that what we see is a Victorian creation, although this was in essence a medieval parish church and accounts vary as to what was retained of its structure during the very extensive Victorian rebuild, but to my eyes this is an almost entirely 19th century building. Pevsner thinks the tower at least is partially medieval, but I beg to differ, unless unless the old work has been renewed beyond recognition. The south wall of the chancel with its two windows however appears to be a genuine part of the medieval structure.
The church we see today is truly the result of rebuilding in 1863 but a pleasing building nonetheless, a fine tower and spire followed by nave and chancel with a single aisle added to the north side. In fact considering it as a Victorian building makes one all the more pleasantly surprised to discover a couple of earlier features within. The interior again has a very Victorian feel but the single north arcade is generally considered to be medieval work, though again I would say it has been heavily renewed if this is so. There is glass of the period by Hardmans in several windows.
The more interesting features here are discovered as we head towards the chancel; on our left is a striking early 20th century statue of St Michael the Archangel standing beside the chancel arch, In the chancel itself there is a notable 17th century monumental tomb, unusual in having the carved and painted representation of a black coffin in place of where one would normally find an effigy of the deceased. The final feature of note is something really special as no one else seems to have noticed it (not even Pevsner!), a beautiful quatrefoil of 14th century stained glass depicting a kneeling knight in the tracery of a south chancel window. On first impression it might be tempting to think this must be either a fake or thorough restoration, but the corrosion on the glass suggests this is genuine medieval work and in excellent condition. I have thus far found no other referrence to it online or in my books, so it appears to be virtually unknown.
Sutton on the Hill rewards a visit for the special things it contains, and was happily open and welcoming when I called. I left with a real sense of satisfaction and discovery after encountering the fine and entirely unexpected medieval knight here.

That deep red in the middle of the orange-y yellow was just too tempting. And water drops too!
