One of Marga's great late works, the #Upholland West Window, has been rediscovered; and enthusiasts can at last get an idea of its power and its complexity. Times Visual Arts @culture24editor BSMGP #WOMENSART margaret-agnes-rope.co.uk/2024/04/28/uph…

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


A very Michaelangelo-esque depiction by Margaret, dated 1918, ie quite early in her career. Richard Morris @RMStainedGlass


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

A fascinating travel diary by Marga's brother Fr Harry Rope has been re-found Shropshire Archives. It is pre-#JRTolkien, very anti-industrialism, and strange... See link.

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
