A pair of new windows are being installed in the church next door to where I live, marking 900 years since the church was mentioned in a charter by Henry I in 1122. The windows cover religious themes and local history.
 Installing new stained glass windows /1  Installing new stained glass windows /2  Detail, window 2  Window 2 The detail in #3 is quite interesting and references what was the Morris car plant in the war years (repairing Hurricanes and building munitions such as sea mines) and the modern Mini plant on the same site - using robots to help manufacture cars. The artist/designer is Nicholas Mynheer. |

Thank you! Using the telephoto from a low angle helped to minimise realignment in post.

The library hasn't found an answer yet (in that there is nothing public explaining the piece of glass). However talking with a friend, he proposed that this could be Henry II doing penance after the murder of Thomas Beckett, then Archbishop of Canterbury in 1170. Wikipedia summarises it thus, 'The king performed a public act of penance on 12 July 1174 at Canterbury, when he publicly confessed his sins, and then allowed each bishop present, including Foliot, to give him five blows from a rod, then each of the 80 monks of Canterbury Cathedral gave the king three blows. The king then offered gifts to Becket's shrine and spent a vigil at Becket's tomb.' More at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becket_controversy. |

On my way back from the south coast we stopped at Tudeley in Kent, not far from Tonbridge. All Saints church has a wonderful collection of stained glass by Marc Chagall.

Thanks, Pieter - it would be good to see others contributing to this thread. I rather like the exterior view of that glass.
