| An Icon of St John the Baptist was given to
the church in 2004 by Peggy Vicary in memory of her husband Peter who
worshipped at St John's for many years and was the Church Archivist.
The icon serves as a focus for prayer in
the Lady Chapel.
It was inspired by a well known Russian icon
that shows Christ in Majesty flanked by the Blessed Virgin Mary and St
John the Baptist. In the original, St John is shown facing left,
however when the icon was commissioned, it was decided to reverse him
so that he invites the viewer into the chapel and points towards the
Blessed Sacrament. St John leading us to Christ...
