Detail from The Baptism
When Trinity Church was consecrated in 1877, there was only one stained glass window in place, The Baptism, in the chancel, designed by Clayton & Bell of London. The rest was all clear glass. By the end of 1878, there would be seven windows in the chancel marking a life: The Nativity, Jesus in the Temple with the Doctors, The Baptism, The Preacher, The Last Supper, The Resurrection, and The Commission to the Apostles.
Detail from The Last Supper
I’ve not photographed the chancel very much. But with the seasons changing and the light falling just a little differently, I’ve been focusing my camera on those windows again. Not focusing so much on trying to capture the whole window, but especially zooming in on the face.
Detail from The Commission to the Apostles
New details are always being revealed.
Detail from The Resurrection
I’m curious what else the autumn light will reveal. You know I will be sure to share. 😉 Meanwhile, if you’re in the area you can check it out for yourself.
