The way the wind’s blowing

Church, Henley in Arden

Bespoke weather vanes from buildings spanning a rance from the edge of the North Sea in East Anglia to the Atlantic in the west of Cornwall.

Mythical beasts and human activities outnumber anything representing real wildlife. The series does squeeze in one picture with seasonal connections. The first in the set is St Nicholas with the children, an elaborate piece of ironwork on the tower of the church dedicated to the saint at Beaudesert, Henley in Arden.
