My tweet about handwriting has had 9000 + views, signalling that this is the type of info people are interested in. It also shows how on Twitter it’s all about exponential growth - if people RT it gets seen by all their followers and they RT and so it grows. Very happy that it’s turning some new people on to SirBacon.org.

Re the above triple pic, I suddenly realised how, because there was once no window behind the monument, it is likely those windows will be of particular significance. Has anyone written about them. Are they the Seven Ages of Man windows? 
 

Also, like most in here I know the story about how the Dugdale sketch of 1624 was turned into an engraving by Holler and the illustration printed in 1656, and then the monument was updated (in the 1700s?)but what is the best source of reliable info as to why it looks so different? Thanks 🙏 

Hi Kate

No luck in finding a good shot of the windows behind the monument. And no idea when the windows were installed. The Seven Ages windows appear to be NOT directly behind and above the monument, but further to the left (?). This article was all I could find: http://theshakespeareblog.com/2014/08/holy-trinitys-american-tributes-to-shakespeare-in-glass/

But as you can see, these are different to the "Shakespeare" windows:

The information about these windows must be there somewhere...

A tour de force, A.P. You bring clarity to complexity. I can't help but feel inspired by the purposefulness of the writing.

Sad to say, the Phoenixes' Promus promo isn't playing back on my laptop (?). Problem could be at my end.
