RVW - A New Memorial Window
"A new window to celebrate RVW's contribution is a worthy ambition" - Rector


Stained Glass Artist
The renowned stained-glass artist, Tom Denny has been commissioned to design and make a new window for All Saints' Church, Down Ampney to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The new window will be placed in the Sanctuary. It will have three lights. Design work will begin in earnest in January 2022; and the window will be installed in October 2022.

Tom Denny writes:
"Most of my windows are in churches, and their themes are scriptural. Several new projects, however, have also been celebrations or commemorations of remarkable people, incorporating their relationship with a particular place and landscape."



Testamonials
“The truth is, God comes to us in glimpses, in small snatches of light and understanding - only occasionally are we granted a ‘blinding flash’. In his stained glass Thomas Denny gives us both these approaches.”
The Very Reverend Michael Tavinor
“It is as if you are being offered a choice between two temporal realities, the deep journey or present pleasures. Thomas Denny’s work provides both, a rare and visceral encounter with the numinous here and now.”
Mark Cazalet
(Denny’s work) “is lovingly done, at once entirely contemporary yet in full conformity with the traditional, determining disciplines of the craft”
