Stunning!
Just had a festive visit to my favourite church…St. Margaret of Antioch, Knotting, Bedfordshire. It has a host of wonderful architectural features, including a possible Saxon arch. Above all though, it’s just a completely beautiful and peaceful place 😍

Beautiful stained glass windows at St Mary’s Cathedral, Visby, Sweden. I believe by Per Anderson between 1985-1990 for the Great Chapel. #StainedGlassSunday
