Thirty years ago when I worked in Stepney, I was told that the Christ in the east window was modeled on a RAF officer. Why RAF and not RN, I don't know.
|
Merchant Navy would have been even more appropriate, as the church flies the Red Ensign, not the White (Royal Navy) one
|
Indeed, Timbo.
I guess I was thinking about the other window showing the RN sailor. |
How can one suddenly discover they have a basement?! :D
Another goodly selection, thanks. I agree with you about the variegated brickwork though! |
I'm curious now as to what the Top of the Squash charts would look like in DG world.
"A squash, a squash, a squash, a squash, a squash, a squash, a squash IT'S WHAT I NOSH" (etc.) |
There was actually a filter-by-date option, but you had to browse via this URL rather than the obvious one
I only found it because I happened to see a tweet. It was very useful, and will hopefully be added more prominently next year. |
One problem with the 'Events' link was that it listed every individual tour separately, so several places appeared multiple times.
Also (and it might be my browser) every time I selected a date from the dropdown menu the listings jumped back to 'All dates'. |
Are you really Jago Hazzard

I grew up in a tower block just near St Dunstans with fine views of it from the balcony. But as a child of a very strict Irish Roman Catholic father actually entering it was frowned upon! So I have enjoyed getting to know it via Open House days as an adult. What I do remember as a child is the magnificent Passion Plays they put on in the grounds and local streets for a couple of years.
I disagree about the St Mary of Eton brickwork. In fact I made a quilt based on it which my daughter took to university as a (unnecessary as it turns out) guard against home sickness and the cold of the Fens. |
Thanks to your write up of a few years back, linked the other day, I had a lovely tour of the POSK Centre in Hammersmith yesterday. We may even have had the same guide you had. I learned a lot of Polish history!
