Nether Stowey - East Window Christ Ascending

The church of Saint Mary is the parish church of the village of Nether Stowey near Bridgwater in Somerset. The church can be found next to Stowey Court a little outside the village. Since the end of the 1960s the church has been 'cut off' from the village by the A39 bypass.

 

The church has a number of Victorian stained glass windows, two of which are in areas not open to the general public. This picture shows a detail from the East window of the church which depicts the Ascension of Christ. The window was made by Ward and Hughes of London and dates to 1886. In the picture can be seen the central figure of Christ as He ascends to Heaven.
