Two aisles run down the sides of the church with the nave in the middle. The children’s corner is in the north aisle. There are also many chairs which allow different arrangements for services, meetings, group work and so on. The St. James’s Players play for the All-age services in the south aisle. There are also display boards here.

The North and South Aisles Stained Glass Windows

Stained glass has been used to add beauty and colour to our church. Most of our windows show biblical scenes, and these helped to teach the people about religion in the days when most of them could not read.

The separate pieces of glass each have their own colour and are set into strips of lead. The colours in early stained glass were each thought to have a meaning; for instance, red meant divine love, white - divine wisdom, yellow - faith, and so on.

See our South Aisle Stained Glass Windows images page and our North Aisle Stained Glass Windows images page.
