taken 10 years ago, near to West Wickham, Bromley, England

St Francis church: new east window
St Francis church: new east window
The east window features stained glass designed and made by Andrew Taylor and dedicated by the Bishop of Croydon on 3rd October 2010.

The words bottom left are a quotation from the prophet Micah "What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God". The words bottom right are, fittingly, from St Francis, "For it is giving that we receive, in pardoning that we are pardoned, and in dying that we are born to eternal life".
St Francis of Assisi, West Wickham

An unlisted Anglican parish church on Ravenswood Avenue, West Wickham (a suburb of Bromley).

The nave and chancel (architects: S E Newberry and C W Fowler) are in perpendicular Gothic style, somewhat outdated for 1935. An extension was added on the north side in 1973 (by S W J Smith). The Church Hall dates from 1960 (Riches & Blythin). [source: 2010 quinquennial report, D Golberg].
