poliphiloMicrosoft have decided they're not making enough money out of me and have very drastically reduced the free storage space they're allowing me for my photos- and I've taken this as a prompt to go through the files and throw out the dead wood- there's a lot of it- and also to rescue things worth rescuing and post them to Wikipedia Commons.
Here's something I just rescued- a detail of a window in St Weonard's Church, St Weonards, Herefordshire. It's Victorian. but I think medieval fragments have been incorporated. Look at St Catherine with her wheel- surely some of that is 15th century work...
St Weonards is a tiny village. You have to traipse through a farmyard to get to the church. When you reach it it looks like this
Here's a view of the surrounding countryside. No leaves on the trees because this was taken last November.
Weonard, by the way, is pronounced Wonnard. History has forgotten exactly who St Weonard was- but tradition suggests he was a local hermit.
