Visitors to St Mary's, East Chinnock are often amazed by the vibrant colours and appearance of the church's stained glass windows. Behind these windows is an extraordinary story of a former Prisoner of War who was held in the area during the Second World War. Herr Gunther Anton gave these windows to the village church as an expression of thanks and gratitude for his reception when he worked on a farm in East Chinnock. On this page are some photographs of the windows by Peter Tettmar in a downloadable leaflet which gives more information on the Bible stories behind the windows.....
.....but the best way to experience these stunning creations is to visit the church.
