From Elswyth, a collection attentive to the quiet artistry found in English churches.

The stained glass in St Nicholas Church, Itchenor moves through the turning of the year – firelight, frost, harvest, and wind – each panel carrying its own rhythm of colour and story. There is something deeply human in these seasonal scenes, a reminder of how closely our lives once followed the land and how faith was woven through the passing of time.
