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

if you blow this one up you can see some of the hydraulics behind his trunk

 

more battersea puppetry ...

this ?animatronic? girl must be about 25 feet tall

they were just dismantling her when i arrived at the roadside opposite the power station this afternoon
