- Description: My journey capturing photographs for the book Divine Light: The Stained Glass of England's Cathedrals.

**Whenever I take on a project, it’s never just about the photographs. The road there, the nights spent close to the sites, the chance encounters along the way — they all become part of the story. With this project, the journey itself shone just as brightly as the glass I went to capture.**

## Tewkesbury

**On my way down to photograph the stained glass at Exeter I stopped over at Tewkesbury - arriving on a beautiful spring day.** 

I wanted to go and see the Denny glass, but before that I walked a loop up the High Street and back down beside the River Severn.

*More on my visit to photograph Tom Denny:*

### Exeter 

**At Exeter, my task was to photograph some glass in the new cloister as well as photograph conservation works for Clews Architects.** 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-09-at-16.23.49-1.jpeg)

I was lucky enough to bag the best parking spot outside Exeter Cathedral - what a view!

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-09-at-11.22.32--4--1.jpeg)

Whilst waiting for twilight I managed to take a walk around the buildings near to the Close at the cathedral.

Exeter Cathedral

### Chester

**Chester was next and I arrived very early to try and capture the cathedral at first light.** 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/Janet-Gough-Chester-100.jpg)

But the journey on foot to the cathedral was extremely illuminating...

## Wakefield Cathedral

**At Wakefield, I had to wait for the light to shift obliquely to the glass, reducing the impact of the exterior grille shadows on the stained glass I was photographing. To fill the time, I sketched the wonderfully atmospheric St Mark’s Chapel. I was in a John Piper kind of mood…**

Also at Wakefield, I was particularly taken by a lovely carving of an owl on the choir stalls:

## Durham

**From Wakefield I headed north to photograph Newcastle Cathedral and lodged at Durham. Visited the Victoria Inn - with an original Victorian interior (fires roaring). Managed to capture a quick sketch using my Art Graf.**

Photographing the glass at Newcastle Cathedral

I found a lovely coffee shop in Newcastle at No 1 Queen Street.

### Hexham

**From Newcastle to Carlisle Cathedral - but a stop off at Hexham Market for supplies.**

## Carlisle Cathedral.

**My task at Carlisle was to photograph the window at the east end. To get some close up shots, I was taken up into the clerestory. So lucky to be able to get up into the clerestory to hover next to the east window with the angels.**

**I also dropped into St. Mary's Warwick to pick up a book on The Beauchamp Chapel which has my photos inside. Quick sketch of the tower at St. Mary's (which has been shrouded in scaffolding for such a long time.)**

## Lichfield.

**I always try and get into a place that I'm photographing extra early and take a walk around the locale. Lichfield was no exception and it paid off.** 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-25-at-07.30.56-1-1.jpeg)

I’ve visited Lichfield cathedral many times and every time I see something new. This time, thanks to Janet Gough - I’ve been able to bathe in the soft light of the remarkably rare C16th Herkenrode glass.

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-25-at-15.00.16-1.jpeg)

On my way out I was stoppered by a lovely buff Italianate building. Whilst I was sketching a bird left a message from above on the page. Not sure if that is good luck? Really enjoying working with the Art Graf limited palette.

Before leaving, I visited the Angel pub in Lichfield which is a rare survivor of the parlour pub. Used the Art Graf again to capture the interior.

## Birmingham Cathedral.

**Birmingham was tricky - the bin strike in full force - parking for a 2.5m van is very difficult to find. I used JustPark to find a place over at the University - but, upon arriving there was a height restriction. Luckily, the security guard let me in and gave me his tel number so that I could contact him when I needed to leave. The kindness of people.**

I think this is my favourite glass out of all the places I visited. I think this particular Burne-Jones' window is special because it is meant to be viewed from beneath looking upwards. In this way it immerses you in the drama of hope and loss. The onlooker becomes a part of the story. 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2025/08/Janet-Gough-Birmingham-16.jpg)

The immersive experience of the Burne Jones' glass at Birmingham reminded me of the porch at Malmesbury:

[Andy Marshall’s Genius Loci Digest: 23 Feb 2024This is a story that moves beyond virtual reality - one that includes the observer and a dimension of time that flows within a structure that is a portal in more ways than one.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/icon/Andy-173.png)Andy Marshall's Genius Loci DigestAndy Marshall![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/thumbnail/IMG_6953-Photoroom.png)](https://www.digest.andymarshall.co/andy-marshalls-genius-loci-digest-23-feb-2024/)

I was also taken by some of the door handles (representing the Apostles) at Birmingham Cathedral.

Just across the way from the cathedral is a lovely coffee shop called Damascena - highly recommended.

## Henley

**I lodged over at Henley on Thames on my way over for photography of St. George's Windsor.**

I took a lovely walk along the river and wrote about it in a recent digest here:

[Andy Marshall’s Genius Loci Digest: 23 May 2025Beneath its surface, the meadow seems to live and breath — buttercups, sorrel, long grass — all caught in the current, wriggling and swaying as if in conversation with the stream. I sit beside it and stay for a while.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/icon/Andy-174.png)Andy Marshall's Genius Loci DigestAndy Marshall![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/thumbnail/IMG_5332-2-Photoroom-1.png)](https://www.digest.andymarshall.co/andy-marshalls-genius-loci-digest-70/)

In the morning I lost my croissant to a Kite. My words to the WhatsApp group:

*Just lost my croissant to a Kite. Sat on the steps of Henley Town Hall, just about to take a bite and then swoosh! It came from behind me and then arced around to the morsel and lifted it from my fingers. I took a bite out of thin air. The energy of it, the updraft, the press of feathers along my hand felt like a blessing more than daylight robbery.*

The remains of my croissant. 

Replenished with a new croissant I sought cover in the church yard where I sat and sketched the almshouses there.

Whilst sketching I noticed lots of people visiting Dusty Springfield's grave.

## St. George's Windsor.

**I'm not able to share the photographs of the interior at St. George's Chapel in Windsor - but Janet will, through her book, when it is published. It is quite remarkable.** 

There was a moment when I was stood with tripod and camera lining up a shot in St. George’s and I just happened to catch the wording on a slab on the floor beneath me. I was stood above the vault that holds Henry VIII, Jane Seymour and Charles I. Such a rich tapestry of history. 

More on Windsor:

[Andy Marshall’s Genius Loci Digest: 3 Nov 2023I am a totem to them. Without me they feel rudderless. They have imprinted me with their hopes and fears, their gains and losses, their happiness and sorrow.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/icon/Andy-182.png)Andy Marshall's Genius Loci DigestAndy Marshall![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/thumbnail/IMG_3515-PhotoRoom.png)](https://www.digest.andymarshall.co/andy-marshalls-genius-loci-digest-24/)
