This 1933 window, in the parish church of St Chad, Rochdale was erected by their daughter in remembrance of Joshua Fielding and his wife, Mary Susannah. It illustrates two imagined scenes from the life of 7th century St Chad, with the saint himself centrally placed and shown as Bishop of Lichfield, holding a model of the cathedral. It is known that he visited this general area and there is a strong likelihood that he paused in his journeyings at Rochdale itself.
This 16th C. glass is probably originally from St John's Rouen. The outer panels depict scenes from the life of St John as in s.VII.
The central panels were acquired in 1973.

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.

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.
Tied with the bookcase shot for my favourite shots from this house. I loved how this vine was working its way into the house.

St Mary's church at Childswickham is dominated by its majestic steeple at the west end of the building, a fine piece of 15th century date. The rest of the building has been restored somewhat in Victorian times, but retains old features such as a Norman west doorway, some fine late 14th century niches in the nave and fragments of medieval glass in the chancel.
The church is normally kept open and welcoming for visitors; for more see below:-

This collection of windows awaits installation at one of Toronto's West Donlands building projects. It must be worth a lot. I know. Several years ago we replaced all the windows in our century home and the job didn't come cheap.
Incidentally, from time to time I reflect on the miracle of windows. For most of mankind's history we didn't have glass windows to let in the light and keep out the weather. Thank goodness for glass.
i've been working in quickbooks all week at work and felt my brain starting to fry. i looked up and noticed the window...i thought the light filtering through was interesting. after i shot this, i popped it up with a soft light filter.

Glass by John Hayward in Dick Whittington's own local church of St Michael Paternoster Royal. Whittington paid for a rebuilding of the church in the early 15th century and was himself buried here in 1423. The window shows him with his legendary cat ( though there is some dispute as to whether the cat was an animal or a boat, both equally appropriate to a merchant). Above the figure is a representation of the streets of London paved in gold with the seal of the Mayor of London, an office which Whittington himself occupied on four occasions.
