The Painted Church Cambridge

As part of our Documenting Cambridge project ( Public Home Page), I spent a couple of hours at the 'Painted Church' in Cambridge yesterday morning lit by beautiful autumn sunlight. I only had a compact single focal length camera with me so these are planning shots for a later in depth visit. All Saints' was built by the architect George Frederick Bodley between 1863 and 1870 and is a notable example of English Gothic Revival style, both for its exceptional hand painted walls and for the spectacular stained glass.The wall and ceiling decorations were applied by F. R. Leach & Sons and form complex, bold stencilled patterns throughout the church. The east window was designed by Edward Burne-Jones.
