Winchester Cathedral choir with C13 stalls. The screen was sensitively restored by George Gilbert Scott. He left old work untouched and replicated it where needed. #Woodensday
The 3rd century bc tomb of Scipio Barbatus, rediscovered in 1780, is perhaps one of the most copied tomb styles.
I’ve seen it many times, good and bad 😅 in grand London cemeteries, provincial cemeteries, country churchyards & even Rome.
Have you seen any examples?
Feast day of St Buriana
C6th Irish saint, a hermit who ministered from a chapel that became her shrine, on the site of which lies the parish church of St Buryan, an important and collegiate foundation established by King Athelstan. 📸: my own
#TraceryTuesday The third of three Christopher Whall windows in the church of the Holy Cross, Sarratt.
This memorial window is dated 1923, and I have chosen this detail for the luscious pinks and purples in the plumage.
Here are some details of the incredible angel roof on the nave at Cawston in Norfolk - it dates from c.1460. On the hammer beams stand eleven six-foot tall seraphim, still with much of their original colour on them, their hands in prayer or raised in adoration.
For #TympanumTuesday, the most lavish of the many portals into Engelbrektskyrkan, #Stockholm, with Christ blessing the children, and below, more oblique, people weep under the crown of thorns, and revive when they see the cup of the eucharist. An #ArtsandCrafts#ArtNouveau wow!
Altar frontal by @sophiehackerart in the lovely Epiphany Chapel at Winchester Cathedral. Beautiful jewel colours in dialogue with the Burne-Jones glass. #TextileTuesday
#TraceryTuesday Sumptuous detail in Christopher Whall's 1923 memorial window in the church of the Holy Cross, Sarratt.
These images from the lower portions of the two lights.
Whall quarries are second to none - both Christopher's & Veronica's.
Is the organ at Long Crichel "unplayable"? Well, in an excellent new YouTube video, Ben Maton finds out!

This picture does not do the beauty or wackiness of this sculpture justice - St George, the dragon and Princess Sabre in Storkyrkan, #Stockholm. From 1488, it was designed to the mausoleum of Sten Sturr and his wife Ingeborg Tott, by Brent Notke #MonumentsMonday short 🧵
