Next we have The Galaxy window, depicting Alpha
and Omega. A spiralling galaxy has stars turning
into blossoms and other forms of life.
The two porch windows show exploding rockets
and crossed grasses.
In 1987 Laurence Whistler, wrote a letter to the Rector
of Moreton Church, offering to donate a 'thirteenth
window' He said that as Judas was the thirteenth
disciple he had engraved a window to be seen only
from the outside of the church. It features Judas
hanging, with the thirty pieces of silver falling from
his hand and turning into flowers as they touch the
ground. At first there was opposition to this, but the
window was finally hung in 2013 and was named
the Forgiveness Window. It can only be seen from
the churchyard but like all of the windows it is
absolutely perfect.
St Nicholas’ Church is almost certainly the only church
in the world where the windows are entirely of
engraved glass. The people of the village encourage
visitors and even have greeting cards and calendars
for sale in the church.

St Nicholas’ Church is something very special that
should be seen, and well worth a visit.
