1929 was not a good year for the Diocese of Chichester. A new Bishop of Lewes took up his post on 25th of January. On 13th February the Diocesan Bishop of Chichester died, followed two days later by the new Bishop of Lewes.

This is an interesting scene. I have never seen a portrayal of a saint in their childhood, before they reached the role for which they became known and their saintliness developed. There are one or two, like Saint Pancras who was martyred while still young. I suppose this is more about Saint Anne's position as mother of Mary.

The window on the left is an internal one, between the Chancel and the vestry. Although it is hard to distinguish them, this contains the badges of John Rowe and Mark Antony Lower. The others are on the north side of the church and are a nice contrast to the ornate stained glass windows around the rest of the church.

There are further panels below those seen here, but they only continue the vegetation and bubbles and were obscured by chairs on both sides, when I had a chance to photograph them during a fund-raising event. Lew Evans House is a group of flats or apartments for elderly people who find it difficult to live in the wider community, because of disabilities or infirmity. It was originally built and managed by Southwark Council but was then transferred to a social housing association.
