Today is the feast of St Joan of Arc, martyr and patron of France. Here she is in glass by Christopher Whall, 1922 at Apethorpe, Northamptonshire and by AK Nicholson, 1928 at Maldon All Saints, Essex. Both are details of war memorial windows. 1/3 
2/3 Two more depictions of St Joan of Arc in English churches on her feast. Glass by GER Smith at St Sepulchre without Newgate in the City of London, and by Burlison & Grylls, Great Whelnetham, Suffolk. This is the 100th anniversary of her being declared patron saint of France.
3/3 The Apethorpe and Great Whelnetham windows in full. St Joan of Arc is not a common figure in English church art, most often found in WWI memorial windows like these.
