#ArtsandCrafts #Cotswolds #churches Bit of a bust tonight as images are in short supply for the former Wesleyan chapel - the Trinity Memorial Church - in Blackwell, Worcs. It memorialises Henry Taylor of nearby villa, Leahyrst, with a simple Gothic design of c1880.

Stained glass appears to be still in situ, most of late C19 by T W Camm, before the Camm siblings introduced Arts & Crafts principles to their father's business. Paul Woodroffe was responsible for the S transept S window in 1913. See frustrating colourful blur through the arcade!
Very sadly, the "excellent" painted scenes from the New Testament on the walls of chancel & sanctuary (L, above) by Bernard Sleigh of the Birmingham Group were removed some years ago. Here's his Holloway Prison Chapel reredos instead, for a flavour of his work (Brigham Young Uni)
There is no war memorial today, as this was removed, along with the pews, altar rails & font c.2003
Do you have any images for this window (above tweet) @BSMGP? Or info on its subjects? @StroudStory? I have checked the SGJ index.
*Correction* Woodroffe window installed 1921, not 1913 as stated. Sleight's wall paintings were installed in 1913.
