The central circlet of this stained glass window, in our North Chapel, was put up in the reign of the monarch it celebrates. Not, as most people assume, Elizabeth the first, but her half brother, Edward 6th, who reigned from 1547 to 1553. I should add that most of our earlier glass was smashed during the Commonwealth, but this window (and one other) was restored later from the remaining fragments, which had been carefully conserved.

Four Dinners in Church???? He was allowed in???? What is the world coming too?????....;-)
Your regular readers will, of course, be impressed, once again, with the wide range of your interests.
"That young Four Dinners," they will think, "He really is a renaissance man!!"
And how right they will be!!!
Cheers, Mike.
P.s. Thank you. Yes, I would like that.
