Historic window badly damaged at Rye parish church

 

Despotic Act of Vandalism

Historic St Mary’s Church, Rye, has had one of its most valuable stained glass windows smashed and removed.

The damage is believed to have occurred between 10.45pm and 08.45am on the night of Monday/Tuesday 29/30 August. Police are continuing to investigate.

The 12th Century parish church is in the centre of Rye and the damaged window was dedicated to the memory of Dr John Adamson and his wife, Jane. It was given by members of their family in about 1882.

It is the church’s oldest window and was the work of C.E Kempe. The lower, damaged part of the window was a vivid representation of the Lord giving sight to a blind man. Continue reading Historic window badly damaged at Rye parish church
