Miners & Families, Ibstock East window of the north aisle at Ibstock by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, c1918, a memorial to those lost in the Great War and depicting people from all backgrounds who made sacrifices during it. The church of St Denis stands in semi isolation on the fringe of the large village of Ibstock. It is an impressive building dating mainly from the 14th century, dominated by a sturdy steeple at the west end. Inside there is a good mixture of glass from late 19th to mid 20th century dates and the building is clearly well used and cared for. The church is normally locked outside of services, but we were given an especially warm welcome here by the ladies on stewarding duty whilst the church was open for the day. www.leicestershirechurches.co.uk/ibstock-st-denys/ / VFL.Ru
