Under the Dust-Sheets St Mary's church at Drayton Beachamp (near Aylesbury) is a beautiful largely 15th century church in a peaceful setting with much to offer the visitor. The decorative checquered flint effect on the exterior is particularly attractive. Inside there are good monuments, specifically two large memorial brasses of knights flanking the altar and an impressive (if somewhat pompous) Baroque affair on the north side of the chancel. There is a fine sequence of Victorian stained glass windows in the nave aisles by Clayton & Bell of London, however the star attraction here is the original medieval glass in the chancel, with an almost complete east window based on the Apostle's creed c1430, with ten Apostle figures holding seperate pieces of the text (two figures are Victorian replacements). There is also a damaged figure of Mary nearby, the oldest piece in the church. I got to know this church in 2005 through work, when Norgrove Studios was asked to relead the plain clerestorey glazing. Initially I therefore experienced the interior as a building site half full of dust-sheets and scaffolding; only at the very end of the project could I appreciate the full beauty of this church. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
