Julie's Advent Calendar 5th December 2017


5. Stained Glass Window

I absolutely adore stained glass windows both traditional and modern.  Over the years I have taken quite a few photographs,  some more successful than others.  I love the beautiful rose window in York Minster but one of my favourites was taken in a little church in Newchurch in  Pendle, a village in Lancashire adjacent to Barley, at the foot of Pendle Hill.  Famous for the Demdike family of Pendle witches who lived there in the 17th century. This tiny village has this gorgeous little church  full of beautiful stained glass windows.

    1. If you are back in this area ever then opposite the church is a lovely shop and tea room all dedicated to the Pendle Witches with life size witches outside.

    1. I could not believe how beautiful they were in this little church. Worth a visit if you have never been.
