The building is all that remains from a former priory. I enjoyed the light through the windows in what is now the Parish Church. I am not sure that plain windows would give more light. Light was streaming through the windows in a special way. The glass I think is quite new, although I have not researched it. The building is all that remains from a former priory.

And I agree with Astrid that biblical stories could be shared with largely illiterate congregants via beautiful images. But in northern countries like Britain, wouldn't ordinary glass have let far more light into the centre of the church? The colours are still rich, centuries later.

I like the play of light on the walls, created by the sun through the windows. There is some fabulous art in those windows.

It tells the story indeed. Good for all the people that were not able to read nor write. 'They got the picture'..... Fabulous colours, also the shadow ones are a joy to the eye. Have a great Sunday.
