Pre-Raphaelite Prominence in Gloucestershire and Birmingham

SelsleyChurch

Back in September, I took a trip up to Cheltenham to visit my grandparents for a weekend of countryside, shopping, roasts and, inevitably, art. My Grandfather and I have same enthusiasm for history, art and culture, and so, we embarked on a trip to discover the Pre-Raphaelite prominence in Gloucestershire and Birmingham. We visited All Saints Church in Selsley, St Phillips Cathedral in Birmingham, and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. The amount of Pre-Raphaelite stained-glass was overwhelming, and we thoroughly enjoyed comparing the church and the cathedral and discovering the Pre-Raphaelite interest in stained-glass art.
