Papa Luna's window- when he moved to Peñiscola he wanted a window in his room that faced towards Rome. He was called the 'Anti'Pope'- although there is some controversy as to who the REAL anti pope was...
East window of the south aisle at Ibstock c1970s.
The church of St Denis stands in semi isolation on the fringe of the large village of Ibstock. It is an impressive building dating mainly from the 14th century, dominated by a sturdy steeple at the west end. Inside there is a good mixture of glass from late 19th to mid 20th century dates and the building is clearly well used and cared for.
The church is normally locked outside of services, but we were given an especially warm welcome here by the ladies on stewarding duty whilst the church was open for the day.
The millennium window, St Mary's parish church, Carlton, Beds. It is the work of John Lawson of Goddard & Gibbs Studio. Giant tongue of flame, representing the Holy Spirit, come down on the community, past and present. In each light is a symbol - the cross for faith, the anchor for hope and the heart for charity.

Robert Turnill Bayne (1837-1915).
Clement Heaton, the son of a Methodist minister in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, was in 1851 a glass painter for William Holland of Warwick. He was in London by 1853 and briefly in business alone before going into partnership with James Butler in 1855. Around 1860 the two briefly shared premises with Clayton and Bell, an association of lasting importance, as the third member of the firm, Robert Turnill Bayne, who was also from Warwick and became chief designer in 1862, was an employee of theirs. Heaton pioneered the use of softer colours, but Bayne’s advent brought the firm to widespread attention. Most of their earlier glass was gothic in style, but the firm adapted to later influences, notably that of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The firm was used widely by Sir Arthur Blomfield, but in later years less of its output was glass for churches. Heaton’s son Clement John joined for a short time, but fell out with his partners. The firm continued until 1953 under descendants of other partners, after which most of its archives were destroyed for lack of interest.
Amongst other important commissions, Frederic Shields designed the windows in the Chancel of St Ann's Church, Manchester. He drew out a complete scheme for the church's stained glass based upon the theme of a Shepherd. The east windows behind the altar and the north and south aisles all have this theme, and were the work of Heaton, Butler & Bayne.

This is one of many broken windows on this old barn, I absolutely love it.

Great set of windows in the Christ Episcopal Church in Middletown, New Jersey. Lovely historical building with a very old cemetery.
Fourteenth century stained glass in one of the chancel windows at Kempsey.
St Mary's church at Kempsey sits close to the River Severn immediately south of Worcester. The church is an impressive structure dating mostly from the 13th-16th centuries, with a late medieval tower and transepts.
The most notable features inside are the imposing tomb in the chancel (which was once renowned for having a tree growing out of it!) and two windows filled with fine 14th century stained glass.
I believe the church is usually kept open, and I certainly found the parishoners very welcoming on my visit following a Sunday morning service.
