One of the beautiful and colourful stained glass windows in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, in the Hertfordshire village of Braughing.
The window consists of three main panels depicting St. Godfrey, St. George, and General Gordon, all of which have the face of Lt. Frederick Longman. Lt. Longman was an officer of the Royal Fusiliers, and was killed in action in October 1914.

Tredington's church of St Gregory is one of the most impressive in south Warwickshire, a beautifully hued 14th century building dominated by a graceful spire (crowning an already tall tower) at the west end.
Within the earlier history of the church is more apparent, with substantial remains of blocked Saxon windows embedded in the masonry immediately above the nave arcades, showing how these were cut through the ancient walling in the late 12th / early 13th century, retaining parts of the previous clerestory in the process (which then would have been hidden plaster and murals throughout the rest of the medieval period).
There is much ancient woodwork, most of the benches are medieval with decorative panelling, as is the former rood screen. The are also some interesting brasses and a fine Jacobean pulpit. The Victorian restoration was fortunately much more restrained here, the only obvious addition of this time being the glass in the chancel.
Tredington church is one of the most rewarding in the area, and happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.

These windows were created for Bedenham School, Gosport, Hampshire UK. The sun window and moon window were created to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity to two ‘mood rooms’ designed as a ‘chill out’ space for the children. The cool blues and greens and purples of the moon flood one of the quiet rooms with soothing colour. The warmer sun window lifts moods with bright bold yellows, oranges and reds by Lamberts, Tatra and St Just. Both windows use traditional leading techniques and mouth blown full antique glass with kiln fired painted oxide pigments and sand-blasted decoration. As archetypal symbols of day and night, male, female and activity and wisdom these windows are easily interpreted by the children, identified with and feel welcomed by. The two classroom windows had the theme of a Robin and a Kingfisher.
The St Nicholas's window was designed and made by myself for Norgrove Studios and installed in 1999 to replace an abstract 1960s applique window which was slowly disintegrating and causing a health hazard (large chunks of glass fell off every time the choir struck a high note - a perspex shield had to be installed across the cill!)
The design was much dictated by a brief that called for isolated panels set in a largely clear-glazed window. I often worry that some may see too much attempt at pastiche in this window, it was certainly impressed upon me to do something in a traditional vein and this was my first ever opportunity to work on such a scale.
As I was executing the design and window for Norgrove Studios, whose commission it was, there was even less scope to do anything daring or modern; I had to produce something that both client and employers would accept, and this is what I came up with.
The two largest and two smallest (lower) panels represent episodes from the life of the church's patron, St Nicholas, the two main scenes portraying his kindness to young people, for which the saint became renowned. On the left he is shown resurrecting three boys murdered and pickled in a barrel. On the right he hands three bags of money to three girls unable to afford a dowry and threatened with being forced into prostitution. In the small, largely monochrome panels below St Nicholas saves three condemned men, and three shipwrecked sailors respectively.
At the top or two panels with a musical theme to provide a link to the previous window here, which commemorated a former church organist; thus two musical angels are shown left, and St Cecilia is shown top right, playing a scaled down version of the organ in St Nicholas's church.

The church of St Nikolaus dominates the small town of Walbeck with its soaring steeple. It is a large, impressive building of mostly 15th century date (though much older in origin) consisting of nave, south aisle and an apsed chancel.
We visited with the artist Joachim Klos, who was responsible for designing the entire glazing scheme for the church in the 1980s. This sequence is highly symbolic in nature and takes as its overall theme the soul's journey towards the Heavenly Jerusalem, with much use of gold with an otherwise limited palette, and many Baroque elements incorporated into the designs inspired by the church's organ-case. It is a very striking sequence (if a little difficult to decipher) and thanks to its minimal colouring leaves the church flooded with light.

Neat window stickers I saw on a 1968 Maserati Mistrale... this one seems to be from some early days of Calgary sports car racing

This window is based on the story of Tobit of Nenevah from the Book of Tobit. Tobit is described as a man of good faith who suffers from blindness and poverty. He sent his son, Tobias, to a distant city to collect money he had deposited there, and hired a companion to accompany the youth. The companion was actually the archangel Raphael in disguise. Their journey was successful: not only was the money recovered, but medicine made from a monstrous fish Tobias encounters along the way cures Tobit's blindness. (Wikipedia)

Anytime we have a challenge like backlit or silhouette, I resort to taking photos of my cat looking out the window.

1940 window in the Waldegrave chantry chapel of St Mary's church, Bures, Suffolk, which is inscribed, 'Of your charity pray for the souls of the builders of this chapel, Sir Wm Waldegrave Knt, d 1527 and Margery his wife d 1540' and also a whole list of their named descendants.
Although several printed sources, including Birkin Haward, D P Mortlock and a Nadfas guide, claim this window for Wright & Dix, it is clearly signed and dated with the stag and initials mark of Horace Wilkinson.
Aynho's church of St Michael is one of the strangest, most eccentric looking buildings, consisting of an awkward marriage between the late medieval tower and the bulky Georgian body, built after the original nave and chancel were demolished in 1723. The rebuilding, by Edward Wing, has left the church looking more like a stately home with a gothic tower tacked on!
There are three more fully designed stained glass windows, an east window by Thomas Willement with three medallion scenes, and two especially fine windows by C.E.Kempe on the south side, depicting Archangel Michael battling the Dragon and the Annunciation respectively.
