I am a BIG fan of window lighting. It softens everything, and adds a warm glow. Here, there are 3 different windows one looks through.
North nave window at Burton Hastings, installed in 2001 and designed by local artist Roger Fifield.
Fifiled's work makes a very attractive contemporary adition to this ancient building, and is beautifully painted and stylised, echoing his earliest work from the 1960s, without looking backwards.
The subject appears to be a celebration of village life, with various landmark buildings and elements of the village featured without any obvious religious theme (beyond the small dove in the tracery light above).
This formula for stained glass seems to be popular with certain congregations, who prefer to commemorate 'down-to-earth' subjects of mainly local, secular relevance, than convey a spiritual message. The artist is then given a 'shopping list' of relevant features to include in the design at all cost!
