GOSFORTH, St Charles (RC). Studio of Harry Clarke.
-
Description
The church was dedicated in December 1911, built of sandstone, replacing an iron church of 1896 (freezing in winter and boiling in the summer!). It is spacious with a wide apse and two transepts which have the two large four-light windows by the studio of Harry Clarke, dating from 1945. Reordered twice, the interior is now clad in attractive marble and a west gallery allows access to a third window by the Harry Clarke Studio. South Transept: Nativity with the Magi and Shepherds. Very colourful, indeed gaudy, and brilliant in the sunshine. North Transept: The Descent from the Cross, colourful again, less gaudy, but I was unable to take a good image owing to the brightness of the light from the south clerestory, unusual for late November - I shall have to return on a damp foggy day! The western end of the south clerestory a semi-circular three-light window shows Christ before Pilate. Image shows the three-light window in the clerestory, Christ before Pilate. -
