“Salmon numbers in the river have declined by some 94% since the 1960s. ... Everyone agrees on the main cause of this catastrophe: the giant chicken farms that have spread like a rash over the river’s watershed, pumping the Wye full of chicken shit.” – G. Shrubsole: ‘The Lie of the Land’ (2024, p.5)

“One thing you don’t need to make more of, is office space; you need to find a way to make what you have better, and you need to find a way to then supplement it with all the other activities that a healthy neighbourhood should have.” - Elie Gamburg (Lead Architect, KPF):

I believe Chagall’s only other #stainedglass work in the UK (i.e. apart from Tudeley) is at Chichester Cathedral.

Here are pictures of his work at St. Stephan’s in Mainz, Germany, where my wife and I visited earlier this year.

Some of Marc Chagall’s fabulous stained glass windows at All Saints Church, Tudeley, Kent.

When Chagall arrived for the dedication of the east window in 1967, and saw the church for the first time, he exclaimed "C'est magnifique! Je les ferai tous!" ("It's magnificent! I will do them all!").
