As it is the 71years since this happened I'm reshowing this blog.
This is the window from St Laurence in Reading, It was damaged in and air raid on the 10 Feb 1943. A plaque on the base reads
"This tracery formed part of what was the West Window of St Laurence's Church. It was dislodged during an enemy action on February 10th 1943."

This is an amazing looking monument.

Reminder indeed - yet also 'starkly' beautiful. YAM xx
I didn't realize you were back on line. Congrats on the new laptop. About three years ago I switched from a PC to a Mac. That took some adjusting but I finally got it. Now I can work with both systems pretty easily...well mostly.
Very impressive monument to a horrible time.
Nice photo. I like how you captured the light streaming through the openings.
The light is so pretty!
Marvellous monument to a sad event. Serves beautifully as a memorial now.
Very evocative
A tragic piece of history...and a beautiful reminder.
