First we have the tunicle from our blue High Mass set modelled by the subdeacon, who is accompanied by a taperer dressed in the most approved Sarum manner - you don't see many apparelled albs these days. A tasteful Morris frontal provides a backdrop underneath the Bodley reredos. The blue set are about 100 years old, of stamped blue velvet which is still in wonderful condition. They were made for Percy Dearmer, and are definitely the sort of vestment where form is more important than ornament. The cope is magnificent, so I'll try to get a photo when Advent comes round.
Visitors often think they are much more recent.
Then there is a rear view of me, wearing a very nice black tunicle, which actually reverses and comes out as Passiontide Red on the other side. Probably about 1910, Comper designed material, vestments almost certainly designed by Dearmer. Unfortunately the chasuble has long since vanished. All rights reserved.
