The stone building, which is based on the motif of a medieval aristocratic ＜Manor House＞that still remains in the Cotswolds region of England, is a building with an exotic atmosphere.
The museum features antique stained glass windows from the 1800s, many of which are stunning in their beauty of color, such as the "Rose Window" with its stained glass inlaid in the shape of a rose and the "Two Angels" by design master William Morris. In particular, St. Raphael Chapel is decorated with stained glass windows all over the walls, and a pipe organ is regularly played, the sound of which enhances the solemn atmosphere. It will make you feel as if you are visiting another country.
There is also a hands-on class where you can try your hand at making stained glass. You can choose from the heart- and apple-shaped straps, rose ornaments, octagonal mirrors, and more, making it a perfect souvenir of your trip or an original gift. There is also a museum store selling original goods and a cafe where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the open terrace with a cup of tea in hand.
Also, at St. Michael Church, located next to the museum, you can rent the chapel for 30 minutes free. This plan is designed to support those who are thinking of proposing. If you're thinking of making a surprise while traveling, why not take advantage of it?
