I Am The Resurrection And The Life
Detail from TM2749 : North Aisle Stained Glass Window, St Mary's Church.

Scenes of the risen Christ, with Mary Magdalene, his apostles by the lake, and with Thomas and the other apostles; also the angel and the three martyrs at the tomb. Contains the Quotation:
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
(John 11:25)

The window was commissioned in memory of Thomas Carthew who died in 1897. At the base is the following:
"TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF THOMAS CARTHEW OF WOODBRIDGE SUFFOLK
WHO DIED JULY 4TH 1897 THIS WINDOW IS ERECTED BY HIS WIDOW AND CHILDREN"
St Mary's Parish Church, Woodbridge

The present church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, dates from the beginning of the fifteenth century but The Domesday Book records in that in "Wodebryge" there was "A church with 19 acres valued at 2 shillings". The indications are that this was a Saxon church, built probably at the close of the tenth century, so that there has been a church on this site for nearly a thousand years.
