Our Lady of Walsingham Church (a parish of the...yum...Pastoral Provision) has a new stained-glass window behind their splendid, authentically Gothic high altar. The church, incidentally, was designed by none other than HDB, the successors to the prolific Cram and Ferguson firm, who occupy the same place in twentieth-century American neo-Gothic that A.W.N. Pugin did for the nineteenth-century British. HDB is not only as archaeologically precise as old Ralph Adams Cram, but equally productive in the number of projects it puts out: not only did they do Walsingham (which sports gargoyles and a replica of the Holy House), but they're involved in designs for an English Gothic monastery nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, an amazing brick academic chapel in Greensboro, and much, much more.
