St Leonard, Bretforton, Worcestershire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
Partially inspired by the decorations at Wells Cathedral, the Grade I listed church building dates from the late 13th century onwards with medieval and some later additions. Some of the most striking features are Victorian glass but fragments of medieval glass also survive. One window was designed by Frederick Preedy, a renowned Victorian church architects; he was born in 1820 at Offenham, near Evesham, and worked in Worcester before moving to London.
This remarkable engraving appears to show a person (Jesus?) emerging from his tomb.
