That is really interesting. If the word “nave” comes from the Latin “navis” for ship, this roof really does give the impression of an enormous, upturned boat, doesn’t it?

That’s interesting, Sam. You’d probably see many changes to the city of Bristol since then.

Yes, agreed. This also might be of interest.

A #HarryHarvey window (1966) in Church of St Mary & St Nicholas,
#Spalding #Lincolnshire

BSMGP says - Harvey once worked at Wippells of #Exeter & then with #HarryStammers in #York. Later, in 1956, he established his own studio.

Yes, thank you. He like the way he plays with geometry and reflects lines and shapes. You have to look closely at the window and can’t just take it in with one look. I’m going to look out for him in future.

Thanks for posting this. It’s made me discover more about this stained-glass artist. It’s a pity he’s not more well-known.

That is remarkable to have medieval fragments utilised and augmented as part of a coherent stained-glass scheme, rather than just a jumbled assemblage of fragments.

I thought bread-and-butter pudding using croissants and apricots was rather special, but using cinnamon buns must create something wonderful, and a flavour really suitable for Christmas.

That is unusual - I’ve never seen a church tower buttressed like that.
