#ArtsandCrafts #Cotswolds #churches is Herbert North's last major work & one of his few churches. St. Catherine's, Blackwell, 1939-40, was strongly influenced by Lethaby's All Saints at Brockhampton, 1902, its white-painted roughcast & grouped narrow lights giving a Scandi feel. All 📷on this thread by Peter Jones, uo/ws, with thanks. The interior is stark with a compelling rhythm of sharply pointed arches, the only touches of colour being the painted sanctuary roof, candelabra & hanging rood. Pews & stalls may be glimpsed here.

#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.

#ArtsandCrafts #Cotswolds #churches Bacton St. Faith has four Powells windows. Some confusion between sources as to location means I haven't established designers yet, but they are quite a nice group, installed over a decade, 1901-11
Images with thanks to Rex Harris. I am attempting to learn to love Powells as an exponent of Arts & Crafts. Of all the large commercial glass producers, they were the most innovative in stylistic & technical terms. These designs are rather looser than many of their contemporaries', with plainer backgrounds.

@mutley7781 @StroudStory @Portaspeciosa @SlCathy @CarolineIrwin3 @JudyADoherty @PosyHill1 @chartres_Fiona @StrayRambler @Horatioforever Wade is generally known for being wealthy & eccentric, but he trained as an architect and worked under Unwin at Hampstead GS from his RIBA qualification in 1907 until 1914, after which he served in France through WWI. 1/ @mutley7781 @StroudStory @Portaspeciosa @SlCathy @CarolineIrwin3 @JudyADoherty @PosyHill1 @chartres_Fiona @StrayRambler @Horatioforever Having come into his inheritance in 1911, he did not return to practice after the war, instead choosing the life of a dilettante and collector. He bought the Snowshill estate in 1919 & restored the Manor House to his own taste, using it as a repository for his growing collection.
