Massacre of the Innocents EMM01/01/019

St Michael and All Angels Church, Ledbury, Herefordshire. Watercolour by Elsie Matley Moore of a stained glass window depicting the Massacre of the Innocents, in St Michael and All Angels Church. The stained glass is one of a series depicting the life of the Lord, and dates from the thirteenth century. The painting has the handwritten note: I have omitted the surrounding glass because it was set in such a jumble of fragments that it is difficult to pick out the subject. This and the flight into Egypt are probably 2 original roundels of a series of a life of Christ'. 1944

Lansdowne House was the family home of the Marquesses of Lansdowne, but like many London homes of the aristocracy, it proved difficult for the owners to maintain in the harsh British economic climate after the First World War, and prior to a period of it being leased out to occupiers, it was finally sold off and became a gentlemen's and ladies club
