@tanita_tikaram As sad day. He intro’d me to the Bhundu Boys. Ended up seeing them in Norwich. Great gig. Thank you Andy.

@Nigel_Farage Read the whole story not just the headline you muppet.
“As a responsible employer, we never want to be in a position where we are notifying families of a tragedy because someone tried to stop a theft. Nothing we sell is worth risking lives for.”
A quote from Waitrose.

@engcathedrals @LivCathedral Amazing window.

[English Cathedrals @engcathedrals]

This stunner for #DivineLight today is a pre-Raphaelite window of biblical women.

@bfdcathedral magnificent West Window (1864) by the firm Heaton, Butler & Bayne, consisting of designs by Robert Turnill Bayne and Alfred Hassam, is a favourite of staff and visitors alike.

It is vibrant with colour even on the dullest of days. Hassam’s use of purple, often in combination with red, is particularly striking.

Bradford Cathedral also run special stained glass tours which are excellent and can be booked on their website.

A bit different but equally wonderful #DivineLight today.

We're looking at Christopher Wren’s use of clear glass throughout @StPaulsLondon (1710).

By allowing clear divine light to infuse the sacred space, Wren departed from the shadowy interiors of medieval Catholic churches, emphasising clarity, understanding and direct communion with God.

@engcathedrals Looks amazing.

St Wilfrid Window (1977), @RiponCathedral

This striking window is by Harry Harvey, a renowned York artist, and dates from 1977. It was given in memory of Charles Sykes, who was a successful businessman in the West Yorkshire wool trade.

It illustrates the life of St Wilfrid, builder of the first church on this site in AD 672 and forever associated with Ripon. Remarkably, Wilfrid’s crypt survives as the oldest complete structure of any English cathedral.

Innovative, delicate and inspiring.

The unusual methods involved in its construction attracted significant interest.

We're at @SalisburyCath today for #DivineLight and the Moses Window (1781), a three-light window by James Pearson depicting ‘Moses and the Brazen Serpent’. It was installed in 1781 and was based on a painting by John Hamilton Mortimer.

Benedictine history for a monastic Cathedral.

Benedictines in England Window (1964). Designed by Moira Forsyth (1905–91) and made by Dennis King (1912–95) of King & Sons - @nrw_cathedral

A vibrant narrative window packed with significant English Benedictines and their contributions – including the foundation of Norwich Cathedral.

Moira Forsyth displays her distinctive use of colour, lettering, leadwork and handmade glass.

This window was among Moira Forsyth’s own favourites, in part because of the importance of leading in the design, and in part because of her love of lettering.

A masterpiece for #DivineLight today.

The Last Judgement (1897) in @Bhamcathedral is perhaps the masterpiece of Edward Burne-Jones and Morris & Co.’s work in stained glass (William Morris died before the window was finished).

This monumental window draws the worshipper into the drama of the Last Judgement with its expressionist quality of movement, the total fluency of its glazing, and the striking density of its colours.

A major part of the Cathedral’s life is a regular breakfast under the window for those who are homeless or hungry.

#DivineLight today has an American theme for our North American followers. And it is a beauty.

@SouthwarkCathed - Harvard Chapel Window (1905)

In 1905 an opalescent window (unique in the UK) by the American glass designer John La Farge was commissioned for the Cathedral’s Harvard Chapel by Joseph Choate, the US Ambassador. The ‘Baptism of Christ’ window commemorates John Harvard, from whom Harvard University takes its name, who was born in Southwark and baptised in St Saviour’s Church in 1607. John Harvard emigrated to Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1637.

Great idea! Design award for @ChesterCath

‘This allows the Cathedral’s great oak west doors to be opened whereas previously the Cathedral appeared closed, so that now, the Cathedral appears welcoming to those on Town Hall Square.’
