#Thurlestone church is well worth a visit, particularly for #AJDavies stained glass.

It is interesting to compare his use of the same cartoon (with amendments) in #Attleborough Church, #Norfolk.

How appropriate. 👏

Interesting to compare with #AJDavies’ work at #Thurlestone #Devon in which he used the same cartoon.

“Adoration of the Shepherds”

#AJDavies of the #BromsgroveGuild produced 1931.

Some rather angelic cherubs hover over the Blessed Virgin Mary & Christ.

“Adoration of the Magi”

#AJDavies of the #BromsgroveGuild produced between 1929-32.

The glass has such beautiful intense colours.

Thanks.
Yes, a love the way the colours fall upon the wall.
Interesting to read recently, that #AJDavies selected his bright glass from samples brought to him monthly by a Mr Woods of the Portobello Glass Works, #Sunderland.

I love the vibrancy of the blue glass.

The style of the figures & their setting

#AJDavies is (in my opinion) more traditional, but #TrenaCox seems so fresh & new

Late 1920s

Stair turret is in the middle of one side & is taller than the battlemented tower.
