Gorgeous Morris & Co. for #StainedGlassSunday, albeit from 1910, based on EBJ's 1872 figure designs for Castle Howard in Yorkshire. This is in #Winchester Cathedral, still lovely.

Last week, I was proud to place a cross in the House of Commons Memorial Garden for all those across Hull North and Cottingham.
As we wear our poppies and pay our respects, let us remember those who gave so much in service to this country.
We will remember them.

Patrick Hennessy was a highly individual painter, who perplexed art critics while cultivating a devoted following, especially in the United States and his own country of Ireland. This painting (1951) showing the horses at St Mark's in Venice is typical of his virtuoso technique.

A kindergarten.
Evil.
«Today, the Russians destroyed a kindergarten in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district and damaged residential buildings.
The “desire for peace" was so great that it left huge craters. During the day, the children's parents and the kindergarten staff were cleaning up the building after the Russian attack. Through tears, they say it was one of the best kindergartens.
Children's toys lie strewn across the destroyed building and the street, mixed with shattered glass, concrete, and the remnants of the "peace deal" that flew in from the north.»
Impressions and photos by Serhii Nuzhnenko, taken after the overnight Russian attack.

We must keep campaigning to save community staff nurses from Reform's cuts.
Despite claiming to have 'saved' the nursing service, the Reform-led Suffolk County Council are refusing to come clean about their plans to cut nursing numbers and other vital family services.

1925 entwickelte Marcel Breuer den Stahlrohrsessel B3. Wassily Kandinsky, mit dem ihn eine Freundschaft verband, gehörte zu den frühen Bewunderern des Entwurfs. Erst Jahrzehnte später erhielt der Sessel den Namen „Wassily“.
Ein frühes Kapitel dieser Designgeschichte lässt sich im Bauhaus Museum Dessau entdecken.

Of course I'm posting the wonderful Tournai marble font from #Winchester cathedral for #FontsOnFriday! Here we see St Nicholas giving bags of golden coins to a poor man as dowries to his daughters - as he was otherwise going to sell them into prostitution...

Sir Kenelm and Lady Anne Digby, their effigies on their tomb at Stoke Dry, Rutland. Sir Kenelm was MP for Stamford and then Rutland for almost half a century before his death in 1590. Anne died in 1602. Their grandson Everard was one of the instigators of the Gunpowder Plot.

The fantastic angel roof in Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire 🤩
It dates to the 15th century, with Victorian repairs, and was repainted in the 1950’s.

Great to see our MP @Uma_Kumaran speaking out against Aspire Mayor Rahman’s decision to allow AEG events to occupy the eastern half of Victoria Park for 75 days next summer. @TH_Labour’s rule of a max of 2 weekends plus set up time was a fair compromise accepted by most locals
🗞️Victoria Park is the ‘People’s Park’, and residents deserve to be heard when decisions are made about how it is used.
Read my latest article on this issue and about the recent meeting with residents and my neighbouring MPs to discuss their views about the future of our park.
