About this Event
St. Mark Church - Windows into the Past
Heritage Open Day: Stained Glass windows offer a rich insight into our history and heritage. This exhibition tells the stories of those who lived over a century ago by looking into and through the many facets of art connected with these windows. St Mark Church is located in woodland at the north end of the village of Ampfield almost hidden by trees but can be viewed from the A3090. It is known as a ‘Keble’ church, built in 1841. John Keble was a leading figure in the ‘Oxford Movement’ and the Anglo Catholic revival in the 1860’s, and he supervised the building of St Mark, an example of what a ‘sacramentally meaningful’ church might look like in Victorian England.
