My latest Church of the Month report for ArtWay focuses on All Saints Tudeley:
"Hidden away at the end of a lane leading from Five Oaks Green Road, set among fields and Kentish Oast houses in the Tunbridge Wells borough of Kent, England), is a pretty, compact country church which dates to the beginning of the seventh century, although most of what can be seen today is from the 18th century ...As I walk into Tudeley Parish Church I am immediately immersed in intense colours – ‘rich and deep marine blue, with blends of burgundy and bottle green’ – because, as James Crockford has described, every window in the church ‘from great big panes of light to tiny peep holes’ was designed by the Russian-Jewish artist Marc Chagall. Chagall’s designs swirl with emotive colour and evocative movement. This is stained-glass that shines and glows ‘with a glory that hits you’ through ‘the energy of light and life that bursts or glows through.’"
