The originating ideas featured in the two main windows are devised in accordance with the
geographical orientation of the church itself: developing the seaward aspect in the case of the
north window (at the chancel end of the church) and reflecting on the landward face of the south
(gallery) window.
North Window:
Taking 'journey' as a thematic guide, it parallels the Journey of Life with that of the relationship
between mariner and pole-star. The path towards the star and of its heavenly accompanyment in the upper
'Omega' sections is lit by a warm shaft of light, seen as being both guiding and protective. On either
side a cold, restless environment exists in which bird/fish forms drift darkly. In this general upward
movment, I have taken the four elements of earth, air, fire and water as echoing not only our own
environmental constituents of creation, but the more poetically relevant process of the Creation as
laid out in the book of Genesis. A reference to fire and re-creation is made by way of the Phoenix
rising amidst the flames, visible in the lower sections of the window.
South Window:
This window is conceived on the theme of celebration, harvest and community. The richness of our
earthly community, the passing of the seasons, in particular the importance of Harvest, are all contained
in a joyous implementation of colour and light. A circle is scribed through the upper sections of the
window, this being the monogram of God and a universal symbol of friendship, here also representing the
sun. A triangle, standing firm for the Trinity, and below, a square, a sign for the earth, earthly
existence and community complete the three geometric symbols sitting centrally within the whole, starkly
contrasting with, perhaps even moderating, the essential character of the window.
