It has been a while since I found some interesting windows to post, but at last here are some from the marvellous Wightwick Manor in Staffordshire (near Wolverhampton) which is designed in the Arts and Crafts style.
Just look at those carved faces on the header photo and all the detail in the window frames. You have to admit it is much more beautiful than uPVC windows.
And I love the geometric panes and the circular leading, though I confess I would hate to have to clean them.
This monthly challenge is hosted by Dawn from ‘The Day After’ who invites participants to post pictures of any windows that they find curious, inviting, photogenic, or in some way tell a story. Visit her blog to see more windows and/or to join in with the challenge.
Very beautiful to look at and yes my eye is twitching at the thought of being signed on to cleaning detail.
Yeh, not going to volunteer to work at that property 😉
These are truly stunning, what workmanship and style. I’m not sure about the size of the windows in the header and the faces don’t help a tired old bird like me, enlighten me a little? 🙂
Wightwick Manor link at top explains more, but it is Arts and Crafts Movement plus a bit of mock Tudor 😉
Got it, cool 🙂
Gorgeous. Thanks for linking up!
What a beautiful selection of windows, shapes and colours.
Really interesting and artistic windows. Love the stained glass ones.
They are fabulous, love the girls.
Some beautiful windows here Jude though as you say I would hate to have to clean them! Very hot here in Perth though we are lucky to live near the coast as the sea breeze has been coming in strongly all week from lunchtime 🙂 Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Just blow some of your heat this way please, turning chilly this weekend!
With pleasure Jude! Storm on the way later this afternoon so it feels quite oppressive (not the lovely dry heat we usually get in Perth)!
No, hasn’t worked, we have the rain!
Windows and doors says so much about the inhabitants, love your photo series.
Beautiful window gallery, Jude!
