WECOMING 2022, I THINK ?

Posted on by

This wonderful stained glass piece, Virgin and Child, is by British stained glass artist Margaret Traherne.  1919 – 2006

Influenced by the French expressionism, it makes for a dramatic composition.

We  were  fortunate to visit Ely Cathedral last year and loved the wonderful diverse stained glass museum. Not all religious works as seen below.

The Sower by William Morris.

We hope to do a visit to Ely later  this year if allowed and safe of course.It is well worth a visit.. Take care and have a safe 2022

Sunday walkers – 05th December

Hope you enjoyed the walk today, nearly 5 miles from Aughton station. We strolled along Long Lane, Blackmoss Lane , New Lane then over to Catherine’s Lane into Croppers Lane. At Poppy’s Lane we turned right through the farm down to Graveyard Lane. We stopped and saw the Friends Burial Ground (Quakers -1665) then walked through Graveyard farm following the footpath over a small bridge up to the Moor Hall estate. Then left onto Prescot Road, right at the next footpath which brought us back to Town Green station. Hope to see you all soon- Brian
