Stained Glass Church Window, Greenwich, UK Square Wall Clock
Stained Glass window from St Alfege Church.
"St Alfege Church is a Church of England place of worship in the town centre of Greenwich in the eponymous London Borough. Of mediaeval origin, the church was rebuilt in 1712–14 to the designs of Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Early history
The church is dedicated to, and reputedly marks the place where Alfege (also spelt 'Alphege'), Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed by Viking raiders on 19 April 1012.
The second church built on this site was constructed around 1290. It was here that Henry VIII was baptised in 1491.
During a storm in 1710 the mediaeval church collapsed, having had its foundation weakened by burials both inside and outside.
The present church
Its replacement was built with a grant from the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches, to the designs of Nicholas Hawksmoor, one of the commission's two surveyors. The first church to be built by the commissioners, it was begun in 1712, and basic construction was completed in 1714;[1] it was not, however, consecrated until 1718.[2]
During the Blitz on 19 March 1941, incendiary bombs landed on the roof causing it to collapse, burning into the nave. The walls and the tower remained standing, but much of the interior was gutted. The church was restored by Sir Albert Richardson in 1953.
Noteable burials, in and around the church, include: Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis (d. 1585), General James Wolfe (d. 1759), English-born explorer of Canada Henry Kelsey (d. 1724), and actress Lavinia Fenton (1760).[3] Noted merchant, Lloyds underwriter and art collector John Julius Angerstein (d. 1823) was a churchwarden there during the early 19th century, and is also buried there."

Came in reasonable time especially since it was overseas shipping and more importantly I'm blown away by the quality.
Its not just a cheaply printed picture but acryclic or some other transparent material bonded to the pic.
As an added bonus, the clock doesn't make a ticking noise but is silent. Printing / image quality is exactly as i envisaged if not better. Its difficult to get a picture that just right for this use but the one i had worked nicely with white letters, i can imagine some other photos i had would have worked equally well with black. Very happy customer.
