Anyone to help w a glass problem? This is #KarlParsons at #Saintfield. Who is the character in green? His legend says 'Never was in his heart but pity, peace and mercy' which is v similar to a line from William Blake. Also, why does the top left angel have waves? Thank you.

What a lovely memorial to have

@SimoninSuffolk Thanks Simon for bringing her to our attention. What courage.

3/3 'Right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints' The memorial to Edith Cavell in Peterborough Cathedral, 'placed here by the Teachers, Pupils and Friends of her old School in Laurel Court'. Cavell was shot by a German firing squad in Belgium #OTD 12 October 1915.

Edith Cavell, shot in Belgium #OTD 12 October 1915, in glass by Douglas Strachan at All Saints, Jesus Lane, Cambridge. The national mourning for Cavell was intense, wrapped up in what was still largely a positive attitude towards the War. Increasingly universal literacy and the new mass circulation newspapers meant that her story could be followed in a way that would have been impossible a few decades before. Like Captain Robert Falcon Scott, she became a phenomenon. 1/3

@todbooklady Hi Liz, I'm going to the day stuff but will have to be back by the evening.

@Sarahlear10 Will you be at the symposium, Sarah?

Evicted to see this

@SChurchesTrust @jeelyeater1 @YalePevsner @ArtHistoryYork I can answer some of these questions but I really find twitter hard to use. Could we continue by email?

@jeelyeater1 @Sarahlear10 @YalePevsner @ArtHistoryYork We've also found this third slide in our small uncatalogued collection. It shows St Luke with winged ox above, presumably also from Whitekirk. Would certainly be interested to learn more about these windows too and if KP produced them shortly before being conscripted in 1916.

We have in our archive a small collection of unlabelled 35mm photographic slides showing exteriors and interiors of Scottish churches and some stained glass, like this one. Does anyone out there recognise this beautiful piece and know where it is/was located? #StainedGlassSunday

@jeelyeater1 @SChurchesTrust Yes, aware of this one too

@SChurchesTrust @Sarahlear10 Can’t find any more, other than that KP did at least one of the roundels in Whitekirk as well. Info on Canmore site. canmore.org.uk/collection/221…

@jeelyeater1 @SChurchesTrust @YalePevsner @ArtHistoryYork Yes, absolutely

@Sarahlear10 @SChurchesTrust @YalePevsner @ArtHistoryYork You’ll know about the ones in All Saints, St Andrews and Old St Paul’s Edinburgh.

@SChurchesTrust @jeelyeater1 @YalePevsner Hi @SChurchesTrust and @jeelyeater1, I'm doing a PhD on #KarlParsons with the @ArtHistoryYork and I don't think I've ever seen or known that these windows exist. I'll do a double check as I can get muddled in the summer, but I'm really excited.

@jeelyeater1 @YalePevsner Thanks Nancy. We've also now found, among the jumble of uncatalogued slides, the companion window showing St Andrew. Really beautiful work by Parsons.

Just booked into this because God said I was being a bit Linda Snellish. Entertained by the Quakers offering a discount for young people doing the course (!), checking my pronouns and asking me to tell them why I want to do it. Good on them. woodbrooke.org.uk/courses/quaker…

Love this which caught my eye through someone's algorithm. #contemporarynetzerotreehouse theguardian.com/education/arti…

@DeanSouthwark @Southwarkcathed Will this event be recorded @DeanSouthwark? I'm a groupie who has an all day commitment to Hereford diocese spiritual direction. No worries if not, just asking.Thanks.

Looking forward to a conversation @Southwarkcathed with Bishop Richard Harries about George Herbert's poetry. Come along! eventbrite.co.uk/e/wounded-i-si…

@canonmaggie Loved this walk and looking forward to hearing how the research is useful.

Research day on the Peak Pilgrimage walk. Great view of Chatsworth Estate.

These are incredible - definitely worth seeking out.

Wish I was there. One of my favourite things about this medium. Thanks @canonmaggie
