When I post on CCT churches in future, I'll make sure I include a link to the CCT website, as I've now done on several of my past posts.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-16022643268868399242013-08-28T14:09:23.907+01:002013-08-28T14:09:23.907+01:00Thank you for your support.

I was once busy in St Mary's Shrewsbury noting down the heraldic glass from Herckenrode in Flanders, when I was asked to hurry up by - a BELGIAN CHOIR - who had come in to practise! Naturally heraldry at once gave way to music.<br />Dreadful though it is, we have to recognise that ALL material heritage is subject to vandalism and decay. If we want gorgeously painted panels with the saints on, we perhaps should be encouraging artists to create anew. Poking around in a quiet CCT church could very well inspire such things, perhaps.

I do think that there should be a special punishment for those who ruin priceless history for future generations. Bring back the stocks!

Apart from anything, these panels must be unsaleable in any legitimate market, and therefore worthless to the thief. Their worth lay in their context anyway.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.com
