The central lights and upper tracery lights were made by Celtic Studios in 1955, and the outer lights were added later, with separate dedications, probably in the 1970s or 80s.
The image of Theodore of Tarsus was based on a statuette in the church that was given by a former parishioner (Information kindly provided by Marian Dew). (ObjectID=5250 ImageID=) Original File Name=Record added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 03-07-2021
