Not all churches are cold right now, folks!

Signed, all of us currently dealing with roof leadwork melting

There is ONE thing I am looking forward to this heatwave: Pictures of paschal candles that have melted in churches. Here's an example from a few years ago. It's my favourite phenomenon. Because, well... Look at it.
A massive candle that's flopped completely over in its stand... It's quite phallic, if you're childish.

One hour quick concept. I’m still debating if the window should be stained glass or just rusticated leadwork.

Beautiful winter light edition.
An arched window with spare leadwork framing a bare tree and a bit of street with a strip of green grass. The light is clear and cold.

Internally, a striking burst of detail can be found in the nave windows. The decorative fleur-de-lys leadwork and sugar-barley stick orange quarries in the cusped fringes make for a joyous little visual delight.

Photograph taken looking up at the central point of a circular glass domed ceiling in Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight, The Wirral. Sixteen repeated slices of glass intersected by masonry arms and bands. The glass had a turquoise hue and features decorative circles in the leadwork. Original photograph turned monochrome for impact.

Definitely didn’t need medicating for ADHD. Nope. Nah. Absolutely not.

Next time someone says this, I’m gonna show them my stained glass window, which is finisheddddd 💅
Clear glass window with lead diamond pattern on, sitting in white painted wood. There is a kitchen on the other side. Shot of window from the other angle into the cream hallway. The window now has painted colours of red, yellow, orange, emerald, purple and apple green in each diamond, and there is leadwork to match the other side added for sealing the paint in.

A color photograph of a lush stucco interior lounge filled with plants and rugs and a polished table centered beneath a leadwork polyhedral glass lamp. The polyhedron is composed of two types of pentagons: regular and elongated; it is set in the scene offset in a parallelogram of skin-soothing bath-warm light.

And the winner for the most wee circles in a window goes to....

Glimpse of Tudor

Black and white photograph looking up at an angle at the Great Hall windows of the Grade I Listed, Samlesbury Hall in Lancashire. Built in 14th century as a medieval manor house and since restored. Reflections of the trees opposite in the glass. Black wood facade with intricate carving in places and the distinctive Tudor white infill. The original windows would have been tiny squares of glass within a lattice of leadwork rather than the large panes here.

Every year I bring my students here, Strawberry Hill House by Horace Walpole, John Chute & Richard Bentley. Also every year I ask the volunteers here if it's been leaking as I did the roof leadwork detailing when working on its renovation & I was terrible at detailing. Thankfully it's not been.
Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham, London, the first gothic revival building, resplendent in autumn sunshine with pinnacles, crenellations & stained glass.

Got to listening to the newest Chainsword album/EP whatever you want to call it. Really like this one, the leadwork in particular is gnarly and off the walls. Not a huge fan of the vocal mix, feels buried. But proper death metal.

This is the other side of THE WINDOW! Look how different the colours can be based on light source - emerald looks almost blue tone.

Orange & emerald need more coats, adding apple green & crimson as the other two colours. Then I’ll paint it with clear glass paint so it’s a flat layer for leadwork.
A half painted stained glass window with tall diamond shapes. There is a purple, orange, yellow and light emerald green colour on there, with two sets of diamonds still being transparent unpainted glass.

Shack/utility roof all stripped of tiles, new battens, and felt laid, so ready to be slated tomorrow morning. New leadwork and cement fillets, maybe by the end of the week.

The writing you see on these pipes was stamped at the leadwork to indicate ownership, the manufacturer, and date the pipe was laid.

This pipe indicates it was laid during the reign of Vespasian.
Water pipe with Latin inscription from the reign of Vespasian. The text is unusual for being sunk into the surface and its sizable length of 1 m.

A plea for #TGJones to respect and cherish the remnants of #WHSmith's early shopfitting - its wonderful tile panels, decorative leadwork, enamel hanging signs and olde-worlde shopfronts. New post, looking back at #WHSmith, here:
