Here's a selection of images of things that caught my eye within Harewood's church of All Saints. The alabaster tomb figures are very fine carvings of lords and ladies from the 15th century. I believe the lady shown above is Elizabeth Aldborough, wife of Richard Redmond, and is dated 1426.
There are a few beautiful and vibrant stained glass windows in the church. I really loved this one, depicting the Annunciation:
The tomb figures would originally have been painted, though the paint has now gone. As if in remembrance the church’s stained glass throws luscious colour onto them. This one is William Rayther.
Knights are often depicted with their feet lying on dogs or lions. This one - a little lion, I think - had a cute expression!
I loved the patterns thrown by the sunshine through the windows:
Very lovely, and peaceful. I looked quickly to see why Gascoigne was a familiar name, but the ancestry tree said the Gascoignes in my family were Thomas and Edwards.
ReplyDeleteThose tomb carvings are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteStained glass always draws my eye.
ReplyDeleteThe stained glass windows are quite beautiful. The artwork at the top, the colors and design sets off the rest.
