From the church at Milborne St Andrew, some rather typical Victorian stained glass, well-intentioned and ill-executed...
There's something about the techniques used in Victorian stained glass that often leads to it ageing badly. The glass here dates from the 1870s and some detail is starting to wear away, but I've seen far worse - in many churches with Victorian stained glass, the painted details of faces have weathered and vanished, leaving figures with sinister white blobs for heads.
A rather weirdly proportioned angel armed with a dangerous-looking censer...
Both windows designed by George Street. The parishioners at the time seem to have been delighted with his work, as there is a memorial to him set on the wall of the church.
Memorial to Street, who died in 1881 and is buried in Westminster Abbey.
