Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum
The chapel was built in 2002 to reflect a Gothic English chapel and was funded through individual and group donations. The design is that of Ken Spriggs. Like all Gothic English chapels, our chapel has an east-west orientation with the front door facing west and the centerpiece window facing east.
The sanctuary has fourteen pews that came from Jones County, Pennsylvania and were crafted in the late nineteenth century. The railings, lectern and choir stalls are also vintage pieces found in antique shops in Tennessee and Georgia and were donated to the Museum.
The most impressive features of the Chapel are the stained glass windows. All the windows have been provided by Eighth Air Force veteran groups or family members. Jon Erickson is the artist and creator of the windows from the concepts presented to him by these groups. Aurora Glass studios of Savannah created all the windows.

Stambourne, Essex
The most striking sight in the whole church is the East Window, which is justly famed for its magnificent 16th century glass. The window has been restored at least twice, rather inexpenly in the late 18th century and very carefully in 1986. The heraldic detail in the window allows us to date it with a fair degree of precision: it must have been installed before 1532, but not long before. It was presumably the gift of the first Henry Mackwilliam (c1475-1539).
The kneeling figure of a woman, on the north side of the window, is decorated with arms of the Hartishorn family on her dress, and the quarterly coat of Mackwilliam on her mantle. These details identify her as Christian Mackwilliam nee Hartishorn, mother of Henry and wife of Edward. Edward is presumably the kneeling figure in armour in the opposite comer of the window, though it is difficult to be sure as this pan of the window has been damaged.
There were originally two other figures at the base of the window, representing Henry himself and his first wife, Anne, but these have disappeared (unless the hand in the trefoil of the south window is a remnant of one of them).
The glass in the upper lights contains an armorial pedigree of the Mackwilliam family. The shields in the two central lights being held by two male figures represent members of the Mackwilliam family. In the remaining eight lights the shields are hanging from trees, which grow beside a brook with golden stones (for Stamboume) and reeds (for Redeswell).
