The window is an original feature of the church which was built in 1934.
John Bunyan was a puritan who lived in the 17th century in the region of Bedford. Like many non-conformists of his time, he was imprisoned for his faith. It was during one of these periods of imprisonment that he wrote a book that has rightly claimed a place among the greats of English literature: Pilgrim’s Progress.
Bunyan’s book is an allegory. It tells the story of a man called Christian and his spiritual journey through life. Being an allegory, it really stands for all of us on our spiritual quest.
