Jonah Window

[poliphilo]

Earnley is an incident in the largely characterless sprawl of seaside homes along the Sussex coast. Only it has an old church...

13th century....



And the old church contains a rather lovely modern window (dedicated 1987) which was given in memory of the artist Yvonne Hudson Rusbridge. It shows Jonah in the belly of the great fish accompanied by mer-people blowing horns, while above them the Spirit of God moves upon the face of the waters. .



Here's a close up of one of the mermen



And here's Jonah



The window was made by P Soderberg, using Hudson Rusbridge's own designs.

Not a church I know at all.

Gorgeous!

We were on our way to somewhere else (see next post) and this came up on the right hand side and I decided to take a look. I'm glad I did.

You never know what's going to show up in even the humblest church.

Have you seen St Andrews Wickhambreaux with its Arild Rozenkrantz window?

I haven't. I'll put it on the list.
