The cross is nearly two-and-a half metres high and weighs
150 kg. It is made from six sheets of 10 mm thick float glass,
edge cut and decorated laminated glass. This creates three
crosses bolted together to give a three dimensional form.
On the first layer are silver ‘tears’, and on the second and
third layers are hands, sand blasted and engraved, some based
on the hands of members of the church congregation. This stunning
piece of work was completed and hung in May 2004.
St John’s is a Grade II listed building in Victorian Gothic
style by the architect Teulon. The design includes curious
pinnacles and turrets externally. Inside the church is spacious,
now with no pews, but with removable chairs to enable performances
to take place. Wide arches and a high naïve roof are prominent
within the design
