Today's the feast of the Annunciation, and here it is in a c1530 tympanum in Dunfermline Abbey. It formed a lintel to a window in the Abbey guesthouse, which in 1598 was converted to a royal palace for James VI and Queen Anne, when it was plastered over. It was revealed by repairs of the 1820s.

Read a brutal headline today; 'Stoke-on-Trent becomes the first city in the UK to declare a heritage emergency' .. simultaneously found this in an interesting book of stories preserved on historic postcards and it illuminates how there's always something new to be found from a rich history!

#SteepleSaturday Few Romanesque churches have bell towers w passage beneath as in Trani's Cathedral of St Nicholas the Pilgrim, who died in Trani 1094. Church built on Adriatic shore (over 4th C church) soon afterwards to house his relics. Tower added 13th C w windows multiplying towards top.

Church of white tuff against bright/deep blue sky, with extensive stone paved square in front. Facade has a set up steps up to an entrance level, with arcaded feature with main door and four arches either side. Simple style frontage with three round arched windows high up, and large round rose window at top.
Very high tower to right extends much higher with a huge, tall arcaded passageway c half as high as the church. On top of that are five storeys and a spire with a walkway around it. The storeys have 2, 2, 3, 4 and 5 windows.

Church of St Mary, #Ware #Hertfordshire St Catherine, from the Te Deum Window #ChristopherWhall - 1908 “Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, but refreshingly different from the ordinary run of early 20th Century windows.” - #Pevsner guidebook @yalebooks.bsky.social #StainedGlassSunday

St Catherine with her wheel is dressed in white with a purple cloak & wears a crown.
Behind her is St Agnes with a lamb, wearing a green cloak. They both have multi-coloured halos.
