Stained glass window, south wall of nave, St John's Church, Dipton

  • Description

    "I don't often photograph church interiors but made an exception here as I was asked to do so by an Australian lady and live much closer to the location than she does. She told me that the window was dedicated to her uncle and aunt, Adam and Eve, by her grand father who once had the Bute Arms. The church is normally locked but I had made an arrangement with the church warden. The interior of the church is very damp, the lead from the tower roof having been stolen some time previously, and many of the contents have now largely been removed. For a time the local Methodists shared part of the church but they too have had to move out. No decision on its future have yet been made.
