Left-hand image from the middle tier of the central N. aisle window. Conceived, designed and two-thirds paid for by the squire in 1919, according to the church guide, although similar (but pre-Great War) glass in the S. aisle is signed by T.F. Curtis and was made by Ward and Hughes. The main image appears to show an irrigation scheme with, above, a YMCA hut - according to its website , the YMCA provided huts during World War I to give soldiers food and a place to rest on the front line. Whereas the first window largely dwells on violent and militaristic aspects of the war, the second seems more positive (in Christian terms) and dwells on attempts to relieve suffering or at least to provide Christian solace, in preparation for the third window with its theme of peace.

Left-hand image from the bottom tier of the central N. aisle window. Conceived, designed and two-thirds paid for by the squire in 1919, according to the church guide, although similar (but pre-Great War) glass in the S. aisle is signed by T.F. Curtis and was made by Ward and Hughes. The biblical quotation below this panel, from Isaiah, XL, 1, was also used at the opening of Handel's Messiah : "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your God; speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned". Like the next panel , this panel appears to be a preparation for the third window with its theme of peace.

Jowett Jupiter engine bay 2014-06-15

15 Jun 2014 140
Showing the 4-cylinder horizontally opposed ("flat-four") engine - all Jowetts, from the first production vehicle in 1913 to the last in 1954, had horizontally opposed 2- or 4-cylinder engines, offering what the firm called "Balanced power" . The Jupiter was current from 1950-1954; the DVLA lists this as a 1959 car, presumably because it was re-registered in that year for some reason.
