Battle of Britain window
[edit]I'd like to see more detail on, and a graphic of, the Battle of Britain window. I was just reading "Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul" by Tony Hendra (of National Lampoon fame) and serendipitously discovered that his father was the stained-glass artist. It seems that he has quite a substantial post-war oeuvre, until rebuilding was done.
Use before 1940?
[edit]Some mention of what was on the site of the chapel or what it was previous to becoming the RAF Chapel would be welcome. There were burials taking place under the floor, notably of Oliver Cromwell, who has a slab in the floor of the chapel commemorating the fact his body was in a vault there between 1658-61. When the vault was cleared of his and other Puritans' bodies it was used for burying illegitimate children of King Charles II (see article on Oliver Cromwell). I note Cromwell is classed as having been buried in the Henry VII Chapel according to the article on that Chapel.Cloptonson (talk) 09:15, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
