NEAR THE SOUTH-WEST DOOR: St Barnabas by Leonard Evetts (1973). There
was a medieval tradition that on St Barnabas' feast day young boys and
others wore many roses: hence the roses on St Barnabas shrine here, on the
best red mass vestments, the churchwardens staves and on the screen.
However, Evetts uses the bible to symbolise St Barnabas' role as an
evangelist and the olive to denote the connection with Cyprus, a symbol
which is also found on the flag of that country. |

NEAR THE FONT: St Christopher by Leonard Evetts (1953). In the traditional form, he carries
Christ. There are many legends about St Christopher including one that he
was shot with arrows, three of which appear in the upper part of the
window. A memorial to J. F.G. and David Cree. | ||||
