Stained Glass Windows - St John the Baptist - Bredgar, Kent - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

"Bredgar church has been in existence on this site for many hundreds of years – the west door is Norman, and some of the stones in the base of the tower are believed to be part of an earlier Saxon church.

The modern church is Grade I listed, and appears very light inside due to the large windows. There is a small amount of stained glass, that in the north and east windows of the chancel being the fragments of mediaeval glass windows that were sucked out when a flying bomb landed locally during the Second World War.

The vicar at the time collected as many fragments as could be found, and they were re-assembled to form the windows that can be seen today. The original must have been quite magnificent!

Other stained glass includes a memorial window featuring Christ and St. John the Baptist and an ‘Alphabet Window’ which was installed in 1995 to record various aspects of village life at that time."
