Inspiration: one of the windows designed by Dean
Ogle
BIRMINGHAM Cathedral is to feature in a display at Chelsea
Flower Show this spring, as part of the cathedral's 300th
anniversary celebrations.
The design, by Birmingham City Council's parks staff, shows a
floral representation of the cathedral's tower and bells, with
cascades of flowers around a wicker angel.
The whole display will be edged by 265 back-lit stained-glass
windows, featuring a design by the Dean, the Very Revd Catherine
Ogle. The image on the glass is her interpretation of the figure of
the Archangel Michael, as depicted in one of the cathedral's
stained-glass windows by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward
Burne-Jones.
People are being asked to sponsor the project by "buying" one of
the two-foot-tall windows for £200.
