Indeed, the reredos is Geddington - 15thC and recently beautifully conserved. The images within are early Comper, painted on zinc, which I think is interesting. Very vibrant! There are also two Comper windows in the church - one I believe his very earliest!

A lot going on here but I especially love the depiction of weapons at the base of the columns. And that ship!

The view from the next hill over is very nice - I wanted to climb it but light was already fading. Another time!

Fortnightly sessions from 7 November, so you have plenty of time to read chapters between sessions. There will be fools and tournaments, betrayal and vengeance - what more could you want with a cosy autumn read?!
