All change again. It had been thought that renovation works at the cathedral would limit opening hours in July & August, but works have been postponed, making it much easier for visitors to see Marga's windows this summer Shrewsbury Diocese Shrewsbury Cathedral

A new year - and still there is war. Margaret knew war - three of her siblings were on frontlines in WW1. She herself was busy with #stainedglasswindows memorials, including this one to Private Cox Shrewsbury Cathedral. Zachary M. Roberts @Rach_Arnold

St Winefride, also the patron saint of #Shrewsbury diocese. She was a favourite of Margaret's, who depicted the saint a number of times

One of Marga's finest #stainedglasswindows is rotting away in a derelict chapel in #UpHolland, Lancs. An article in the #ECHA newsletter explains why it should be saved English Catholic History Association Anne Anderson @SPAB1877 Liz Dobson See link: echa.org.uk/.../2025/01/ne

Margaret had a 'medievalist' side. In this In Memoriam piece (St Laurence window, Shrewsbury) she depicts the late-lamented as a tiny figure kneeling at the saint's feet - a very medievalist touch... Jim Cheshire Society for Church Archaeology
