Church of the English Martyrs
Roman Catholic Church built in 1968, the congregation previously having met in the 18th Century Jupp's Barn, visible on the far left of this photo. Although the exterior is unassuming, this is in total contrast to the interior - see TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs and TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs.
Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs
Two-thirds replica of the Sistine Chapel in Rome on the ceiling of the Church of the English Martyrs (see TQ1002 : Church of the English Martyrs), painted by parishioner Gary Bevans between 1987 and 1993. The west window, entitled Peter the Fisherman, was designed by architectural designer and historian Annie Goodman and installed by her son, glassmaker Jeremy Goodman, in 1990.
Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs
Two-thirds replica of the Sistine Chapel in Rome on the ceiling of the Church of the English Martyrs (see TQ1002 : Church of the English Martyrs), painted by parishioner Gary Bevans between 1987 and 1993. The "windows", which are vertical in the original, are here part of the curved ceiling (as can be seen in TQ1002 : Ceiling, Church of the English Martyrs) but have been painted with appropriate perspective to appear vertical from the side, as here.
