Other comments

The church is on the Evesham Preedy Trail celebrating the work of the Victorian architect and stained glass artist, Frederick Preedy. His east window (1869) is a three light window depicting Christ in Majesty and the six Corporal Acts of Mercy. It may be compared to a similar three light window designed three years later in 1872, for the nave of the Church of St Mary, Gunthorpe, Norfolk.

Artist/maker notes

Benjamin John Warren (1878-1954) trained at Birmingham School of Art. After working for a brief period in the A J Davies stained glass studio at the Bromsgrove Guild, Warren set up his own studio in Birmingham where he worked as an artist and stained glass maker.
