Being new to the forum, I guess I'm picking up on anything from Birmingham these days. The article below was on the front page of last Saturday's National Post which is one of Canada's National Newspapers. It starts out...
"The way Reverend Gary Parker recalls it, the elderly woman was staring up at a stained glass window at his Meaford, Ont., church when, amidst the shades of ruby and emerald and gold, her gaze fixed on a tiny beehive and tears came to her eyes.
The beehive came from a window at the church she attended in her hometown of Birmingham, England, which was bombed during the war, and which she was now looking at again, alongside some of the oldest pieces of glass in any church in North America."
If you want to read the rest of the article, you can find it at:

Does anyone know what church this was, when it was bombed etc?
