#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.

The style of the figures & their setting
#AJDavies is (in my opinion) more traditional, but #TrenaCox seems so fresh & new
