Casement window (or casement) is an openable window attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side.
The casement window opens inwards or outwards with the help of a sash that is fixed on outer frame. The design can vary from fixed, side hung or top hung.
They are opened with a crank, lever, or cam handle, which is placed around hand height or at the bottom and serves as a window lock. A crank, stay, or friction hinge is necessary when the window opens outward, to hold the window in position despite wind.
East window of St Mary's, Bloxham.
An early work dating from 1869 by Morris, Marshall & Faulkner (founded 1861, later to become Morris & Co in 1875) and one of the best examples of the early stained glass.
This design was a collaboration of Philip webb, Edward Burne Jones, and William Moris himself, each responsible for specific elements or figures within the window.
One of a pair of windows in the south transept at Clifton with glass c1910 portraying Old Testament Prophets, reworked into a new clear glazed setting by George Pace c1970.
St Mary's church at Clifton stands in a peaceful enclave close to the edge of Nottingham. It is a fine cruciform building with a lofty central tower and plenty of interest within, including a splendid group of monuments in the north transept.
The church was restored by noted architect George Pace in the 1960s which resulted in some colourful redecoration and bold modern features such as the nave ceiling and organ.
This is a hugely rewarding church to visit, though alas I believe it is normally kept locked.

Chancel window designed by John Piper and made by Patrick Reyntiens 1985. The window commemorates 1300 years since the founding of the Jarrow monastery by Benedict Biscop, whose initials are shown below the cross.
St Paul's in Jarrow was the site of one of the most famous Anglo Saxon monasteries in England, famed as the residence of the Venerable Bede. The monastery was founded by Benedict Biscop in c681 and its church survives as the chancel of the present building (with a few later modifications). A few years later a second church (a larger building with aisles) was built on the site of the present nave which remained a separate building until the two were linked by the construction of what is now the lower half of the central tower in c800, but the upper half wasn't built until shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1072, and thus is still decidedly Anglo Saxon in design (the lower half of the structure wasn't originally intended to become a tower which accounts for its unusual rectangular design).
Following the Reformation the monastery was dissolved and St Paul's became a parish church. Substantial ruins of the old monastic buildings remain on the south side of the nave, mostly dating from the Norman period. The old Saxon nave had sadly fallen into disrepair by 1782 and was demolished; it was rebuilt in 1866 by George Gilbert Scott in a simplified early Gothic style with a north aisle. Externally the two halves have weathered harmoniously and the newer parts are less obvious.
Inside the church the eye is drawn to the ancient chancel beyond the mysterious space beneath the low arches of the tower. The original tiny window-openings remain in the side walls and one is even glazed with a roundel of Anglo Saxon glass excavated at the site and leaded into an abstract composition in more recent years, and is thus the oldest coloured glass to be seen in any British church. Further pieces from the site (including some leaded into more complete patterns and even a figure) can be seen at the nearby Bede Museum at Jarrow Hall a short walk to the north.
St Paul's is one of the most historic and ancient churches in the country and is well worth a visit. The church is open most days, though it is currently struggling to raise money for urgent repairwork to the ancient tower. Opening times are given on their website.

What better way to celebrate window Wednesday than to stand in a window doing the Wednesday Dance. In the red picture frame is Jenna Ortega who plays Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series Wednesday and originated the dance.
I do not do the dance nearly as well, but I do have a cool mask and hat.
We're Here shakes it out to Window Wednesday.

The window works completely as a show case of a folkloric museum

Detail of the east window at Oadby, probably the work of Powells and perhaps even designed by Henry Holiday, but sadly suffering from severe paint loss.
St Peter's church at Oadby is distinguished by a tall early 14th century broach spire and a later Perpendicular nave with clerestorey (whose height clearly exceeds that intended by the builders of the earlier tower).
The sense of height is apparent inside where the nave appears tall for its short length. The walls have been scraped back to the stone during the Victorian restoration but luckily the clerestorey admits enough light to compensate for this (aside from in the chancel).
There are a few decent late 19th/early 20th century windows.
I believe the church is normally kept locked outside of services.
Potsdam
Das Holländische Viertel wurde zwischen 1733 und 1742 im Zuge der zweiten Stadterweiterung Potsdams unter Leitung des holländischen Baumeisters Johann Boumann erbaut. Das Viertel besteht aus 134 Ziegelstein-Häusern, die durch die Mittel- und Benkertstraße in vier Karrees nach dem Konzept eines barocken Stadtgrundrisses aufgeteilt werden. Es gilt als größtes zusammenstehendes Bauensemble und Kulturdenkmal holländischen Stils außerhalb der Niederlande in Europa.
