The Triptych on the Childrens’ Altar in the South Aisle of the Church

The inscription reads:“To the glory of God in gratitude for the healing hands of Daphne Stevenson and Dr William Perry.”   The Triptych was commissioned in 2002 as a joint memorial to Dr. William Perry and Daphne Stevenson.    Dr Perry was for many years Church Warden and Daphne Stevenson was the wife of a former Church Warden.    They died within a few days of each other. It was painted by local artist Tom Errington.    The depiction of Mary is based on a photograph of Daphne taken on her wedding day, and her profession as a pharmacist is represented in the first panel by the inclusion of a pestle and mortar, while Dr Perry’s calling is represented by the staff and serpent insignia of the medical profession at the tops of the columns.
