Day two of masterclass. Visit to the Church of St. Martin-cum-Gregory, Micklegate, normally not open to the public and in a very dejected state, despite plans to one day turn it into a stained glass centre for the city. Some cross-processed shots from the gloomy church.
Exterior.
Westward facing.
I like the funeral plaques contrasted with
flaking whitewashed walls.
Apparently a Roman tomb leftover
from the olden days.
The medieval glass is in a jumbled, dirty,
fragmented state.
Coat of arms.
Interesting quarries in an eastern window.
Evidently this is the boar emblem of Richard III.
Three marguerites (daisies) growing from
a tuft is the emblem of Lady Magaret Beaufort,
mother of Henry VII.
A skull in seventeenth-century enamel glass.
And the churchyard. Macabre.
