A fascinating web-site on stained glass here: http://www.stainedglassmuseum.com/index.shtml
Somewhere I have yet to visit but it is high on my list of 'places to visit soon'. Thank you to Glynn (and his partner Kathryn) for telling me about it.
All Saint's Church in Marden, near Devizes
Unfortunately, I cannot claim to have seen these beautiful windows but first saw these photos on the Avebury discussion forum where they were posted by Wiltshire based musician and writer Steve Marshall - he has kindly given permission for me to use them here. Many thanks Steve (see Avebury forum link) http://aveburywhs.4forum.biz/the-camp-fire-off-topic-chat-f2/marden-church-t609.htm
The above is a detail from the larger window below (with a description by Steve Marshall)
This is how Steve described the windows:
But my favourite is a memorial to the Niven family, who lived at Marden Grange. I assume they're related to David Niven, who lived not far away in Wilcot, near Pewsey. The window was designed by Molly Kettlewell in 1979. It depicts the views from Marden, to the north & to the south:
The window created by Jasper and Molly Kettlewell in 1958 - depicting St Peter and St Paul
