Rétro Station Service ⛽️ ART DECO⛽️ En 1957, Caltex avait un design uniforme pour ses stations-service en Allemagne. Le toit arrondi et balancé qui semblait pousser hors du sol était une caractéristique frappante. En 1969, Caltex a cessé de vendre en Allemagne

Not long left to see Guildhall Art Gallery's Evelyn De Morgan exh (closes Jan 4). I'm not sure I'd call her a 'modern painter' but there are some beautiful (and newly conserved) works on show @demorganfoundation.bsky.social www.thecityofldn.com/event/evelyn...

Stained glass roundel depicting the Coronation of the Virgin, surrounded by angels, in the Lady Chapel at Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane. Note the small and understated Vatican nativity scene. I guess it won't be to everyone's taste,but I thought it was quite compelling. #StainedGlassSunday

Stained glass windows by Mayer & Co in the Sacred Heart chapel at Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane. #StainedGlassSunday

4 stained glass quatrefoil windows in the east window at Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane, by Lavers, Barraud & Westlake. They depict Saints Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Juliana of Liege, and Clare of Assisi. The altar is of Caen stone, and by Thomas Earp. #StainedGlassSunday

Vane Court, Biddenden, Kent. A 'Wealden' hall house built in two main phases. The upper end, left, & 2-bay hall erected in the late 14th century. The right hand end added in the early 16th century. I did some of my 1st exploded timber joint drawings when RCHME recorded it.

Merry Christmas from 84, but it is Camberwell Church Street not Charing Cross Road. #PostboxSaturday

It’s a sad indictment of Britain’s ignorance of nature that Sycamore Gap petitions - for a tree that mattered to humans but not nature - received tens of thousands of signatures but a petition to protect entire peatland habitats is stuck at 1,500 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

A beautiful stroll around #Christchurch after the last school pick-up of term. Such a difference from yesterday's weather!

At Ayshford Chapel in Devon, Ben Maton - The Salisbury Organist - plays ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’ on the late Victorian Mason & Hamlin harmonium.

A feathered angel swinging a thurible at Ufford, Suffolk. He's in the medieval Norfolk School style, but this is probably 19th Century glass by Clayton & Bell, installed in the 1970s as part of the reglazing of the chancel. Ufford: www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/Ufford.htm #AdventAngels
