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."

These days, shopping on line can be a little daunting at times, not seeing or trying the product off the shelf in a store, never knowing for sure what to expect (I've been very disappointed a few times let me tell you)
Our custom clock arrived today (Melbourne, Australia) - First thing that impressed straight away was the packaging, solid and well designed.
Then when we unwrapped, well, absolutely thrilled to say the least.
Extremely high quality product, well exceeding our brightest hopes.
Will we shop again ? No hesitation - Can we recommend ? 100% :). The product we received was actually better than the photo on screen.
Rich deep colors and clean crisp edges with a highly polished clock face.
Loving it.
