‘Orchestral-pop’ features nun-saints: a top album of 2025, by #Rosalia, has tracks about five nun-saints, including #TeresaOfAvila, a #Carmelite like #MargaretRope.
Life is ever surprising...!

Christmas is coming, so, a copy of the #MargaretAgnesRope photo book (showing almost all her works, in colour) would make an excellent present.
Just £15, it’s available on mail-order (see link), or at @ShrewsCathedral Cafe Shop

Sadly, this book only features CofE cathedrals, and does not include any Catholic ones. Marga's cathedral work was only to be found in Shrewsbury RC Cathedral

A new book about the stained glass of England’s cathedrals is out soon. Wouldn't it be great if #MargaretAgnesRope's work at @ShrewsCathedral were to be featured?

Two churches with significant #MargaretRope works are open for the #heritageopendays festival this month. The windows at Oxton near Birkenhead are particularly lovely. heritageopendays.org.uk/whats-on/searc…

A window in #Shrewsbury wrongly thought to be by Marga turns out to be by another very fine, but virtually unknown, female artist - thanks to a lot of research! #StoriesInChurches

The Rope Archives hold over 500 items and, as one sifts through them, hidden stories come to light - if one knows how to look. See link margaret-agnes-rope.co.uk/2025/02/15/%e2…

Marvellous portraiture and brilliantly dense composition in these Marga #stainedglasswindows.

Blaxhall, Suffolk was the home parish of the Rope family, remembered in the 1913 east window by one of their number, Margaret Agnes Rope. Some details, here is St Stephen with a shepherd and his flock, and St Luke with more Blaxhall locals. 1/3

Great to see Margaret Rope's #Shrewsbury #stainedglasswindows featured on BBC's Great British Railway Journeys programme. Our man Arthur Rope explained their beauty to Portillo.

Margaret had a 'medievalist' side. In this In Memoriam piece (St Laurence window, Shrewsbury) she depicts the late-lamented as a tiny figure kneeling at the saint's feet - a very medievalist touch...

A fascinating travel diary by Marga's brother Fr Harry Rope has been re-found @ShropArchives. It is pre-#JRTolkien, very anti-industrialism, and strange... See link.

One of Marga's finest #stainedglasswindows is rotting away in a derelict chapel in #UpHolland, Lancs. An article in the #ECHA newsletter explains why it should be saved

St Winefride, also the patron saint of #Shrewsbury diocese. She was a favourite of Margaret's, who depicted the saint a number of times

Happy #StDavidsDay 🏴 St Winifrede, the Lourdes of Wales, from Shrewsbury artist @AgnesRope from St Peter & Paul Church, Newport, Shropshire.
English
A very Michaelangelo-esque depiction by Margaret, dated 1918, ie quite early in her career.

@MeredithCatrin Wow. In what church is this to be found? You’re really building up a catalogue!

For #SaintLucy 's day, a #JoyceMeredith Shropshire window to her aunt (Lucy, who died on the eve of St Lucy's day)
English
@MeredithCatrin More power to your efforts! Do you believe the window in your post (the scene of Shrewsbury) to be another of Joyce's works?
English
Wonderful to finally visit #Shrewsbury and view its @AgnesRope windows as well as add another #JoyceMeredith cross on the stained glass window tour map!

A new year - and still there is war. Margaret knew war - three of her siblings were on frontlines in WW1. She herself was busy with #stainedglasswindows memorials, including this one to Private Cox @ShrewsCathedral.
