Many thanks for your kind word...Seigneur Perceval. Many thanks for your kind words. Could you send me a link to your Flickr work, as I would very much like to see it. I'm sure there is a link on here somewhere as I always link photos I've borrowed back to the originator, but I just can't find it.

It certainly gives the building a sense of development over time. <BR/><BR/>Personally speaking and speaking very much from an emotional rather than an intellectual position, I rather like the late medieval work. Dare I say it I even prefer it to the earlier work.Allan Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499774849106432968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-83889191998959596252008-12-01T11:12:00.000+00:002008-12-01T11:12:00.000+00:00Nice pics, great blog - I see you've used some of ...Nice pics, great blog - I see you've used some of my photos from my Flickr, there are many more on there of medieval art and architecture if you fancy having a look, it's a bit of a passion of mine :)Monsieur Hannardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727528914178051444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-20360452138113277742008-11-18T20:51:00.000+00:002008-11-18T20:51:00.000+00:00Butterfield was clearly at his best when he was be...Butterfield was clearly at his best when he was being Butterfield. Interior views (e.g. chancel) of the church elsewhere on its website indicate that he was in good form when he designed its still pretty-well unspoiled interior.<BR/><BR/>Why did a man of Butterfield's talent reproduce a style of Opus Anglicanum which is - at the risk of coming on all Ruskinian - decadent, compared to it's glory days of the 13th and early 14th centuries. By 1500, as the recent post here indicates, surviving English church embroidery - orphreys excluded - is largely a matter of copying a small number of motifs, most of which Butterfield includes in his frontals.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-33396348068336501762008-11-17T15:42:00.000+00:002008-11-17T15:42:00.000+00:00These are marvelous, Alan.These are marvelous, Alan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
