Yesterday I visited St Mary’s church in Huntingfield. It’s the place where my grandparents Florence and Albert Allard married, many moons ago.
It is an inspiring space. The ceiling is drenched in colour, the artist Mildred Holland the rectors wife took it upon herself to design and paint her unique vision, from scaffolding while lying on her back(!) around 150 years ago.
I too assumed that position at ground level to try and show the entire brilliance of her creation.
