st.laurance's church, hawkhurst, kent

a curiosity ... all the church windows were blown out when a german flying bomb exploded in the churchyard in 1944 ... the restoration was celebrated in 1957 & so this church has a posh set of big nearly new windows, though i didn't find them attractive as the main theme seemed to be heraldic ... oh, the agonies of empire ... and the figures, which i haven't bothered to photograph, seemed to lack animation & emotion, neither of which any religion can really do without
