Sorry for the appalling picture - I usually take better, but I snapped this photo this morning as we were leaving the Christmas Day service at St Cuthbert's Anglican Church, Tweed Heads. I know the history of this particular window and it always fascinates me as we line up to greet Rev'd Rachel on the way out.

St Cuthbert's was well established in Tweed Heads in the early part of the 20th Century. Following the end of the Great War, an appeal was launched to fundraise for stained glass windows to be used as a memorial for those who lost their lives in that conflict. Created for the original St Cuthbert's in Enid St (the church moved in the 1970s, there was originally one large arched window with two smaller arched windows on either side. With the new church in Florence St, all three windows were merged to create one large window over the entrance of the new church.

The centre contains the image of St George, he is holding an Australian flag and in inscribed with the name of C R Morley who died in Palestine, a lieutenant in the 5th Lighthorse, and was erected by his parents and brothers and sisters. The Morley's were successful business people in town, they could afford what was then the larger window. The two side windows contain the 12 names of those who were associated with the church, it contains the images of a cross, sword, laurel wreath, and grapes. All symbolic images.

The windows were originally designed and manufactured by Mr Wm Moroney of Brisbane and was dedicated by The Ven Archdeacon Tress of the Grafton Diocese on 8 May 1921.

Thanks for the locationless.
