| 説明 | St Martin's in the Bull Ring Birmingham.Installed in 1877 by William Morris from designs created by Burne Jones, it is one of the earliest examples of their work and contains some unique features.The window survived the Blitz by a matter of hours. The church council had decided, in an extraordinary lapse, that if it were destroyed it could be replaced. This so annoyed Bishop Barnes that he ordered them to preserve it. The window was promptly removed, carefully packed, and put in the south porch ready to take to storage. That same night the bombs fell destroying every other window in the church.In 1873, the church was demolished and rebuilt by architect J. A. Chatwin, preserving the earlier tower and spire. During the demolition, medieval wall paintings and decorations were discovered in the chancel, including one showing the charity of St Martin dividing his cloak with a beggar. Two painted beams were also found behind the plaster ceiling.The exterior is built of rockfaced Grinshill stone. The interior is of sandstone with an open timber roof, which shows the influence of the great hammerbeam roof of Westminster Hall. The beams are decorated with fine tracery and end in large carvings of angels. The roof weighs 93 tons (94.5 tonnes), spans 22 ft (6.7m) over the 100 ft (30.4m) long nave and is 60 ft (18.2m) high. |
