Standing for Christ at the heart of the community

​Inspired to share God's love with everyone

Snip, snap...

... words and images from church life 

Picture
The 12th century font, the oldest treasure in the church, has a new cover (left), designed and built by Coleshill School former pupil Victoria Walpole.

Words like stunning, fantastic, amazing are used by the congregation on line and when viewing it. 

The circular cover on a theme of Living Water features high quality carving as well as marquetry.

Bob reveals the magic of the magi

Very few visitors take more than a passing glance at the stained glass windows in church, but Nuneaton photographer Bob Le Bihan's interest in them resulted in these fabulous images.

His pictures reveal in glorious detail and colour Victorian craftsmanship.  Here, in the Camm window, three wise men honour the baby Jesus.

Jesus with and without 
a stitch on


A kneeler remembering Hope and James Harrison mirrors Mary and baby Jesus in the Camm window. 

Below, the magi reach Jesus on a kneeler remembering Christopher Childs

Big Bird off Sesame Street has been hidden in plain sight in the choir stalls since 1860 (left).  He is part of the fabulous menagerie in church.  
 
Here's a selection.

Stitches in time


​Two letters (below) from St Peter and St Paul to the Coleshillians show a 20th century impression on a kneeler of a 800 year old church.

Seeing double

Picture
Most people who came through the north door didn't realise there were two of them.  
​

Picture

​The glass door and wooden frame on the right and the kneeler on the left were given in memory of churchwarden Philip Deebank.


Picture
The door has now been closed off and a toilet suitable for use by the disabled has been built there.
