These hamlets gradually developed into the present commuter village of Ottershaw. Originally Ottershaw was in the ancient parish of Chertsey, but in 1857 the new parish of Addlestone was formed. This included Ottershaw until 1865 when it became a separate parish. The church is not in the middle of the village, as many older parishes are, but it can be seen on its hill from all directions and gives a visible focus to the spiritual and social life of the neighbourhood. The Church Building Christ Church Ottershaw was the gift of one man, Sir Thomas Edward Colebrooke (1813-1890) who came to live in Ottershaw in 1859. He provided sufficient land from his estate for a church, churchyard and vicarage, paid all the construction costs and endowed the church with £100 per year. The church was designed in the studio of Sir Gilbert Scott and was consecrated in 1864. The original building had no tower, only a spire: the present tower, with spire above and the peal of six bells, was added in 1885-1886, the gift of Edward Gibb esq. The tower clock is a memorial to the Rev. Baron Hichens, 1881-1902.

Originally constructed in 1868 it was dismantled after a fire and re-erected in Canberra in 1958 as All Saints Anglican Church. A parishioner painted the east window on the understanding it was temporary until a larger stained glass window could be installed. Lady de L'Isle, wife of a Governor-General, often visited the church and on one occasion brought Sir John Betjeman, Poet Laureate, who expressed the opinion that a large stained glass window should be installed in the space. Some years later a representative of the the church visited Sir John in England where he (Sir John) was Curator of Anglican Church Treasures (or something similar) and who remembered the conversation. Sir John offered the church the choice of one of six windows which had been removed from disused churches and put into storage. The window selected was originally put into St. Clements Attercliffe, a suburb of Sheffield in 1917 as a war memorial to local men. The area it was in was bombed during World War II and later became industrialised. Use of the church declined and it was closed down and demolished in 1963.
Extractions: Stained Glass Stained glass is a term that refers to both the material of coloured glass and to the art and craft of working with it. As a material the term generally refers to glass that has been colored by adding metallic salts during its manufacture. Painted details and yellow stain are often used to enhance the design. The term is also applied to windows in which all the colours have been painted onto the glass and then annealed in a furnace. Stained glass, as an art and a craft, requires the artistic skill to conceive the design, and the engineering skills necessary to assemble the decorative piece, traditionally a window, so that it is capable of supporting its own weight and surviving the elements. Although usually described as stained glass windows the purpose of stained glass is not to allow those within a building to see out or even primarily to admit light but rather to control it. As such stained glass windows have been described as 'illuminated wall decorations'. The design of a window may be non-figurative or figurative. It may incorporate narratives drawn from the Bible, History or Literature, or represent saints or patrons. It may have symbolic motifs, in particular armorial. Windows within a building may be thematic, for example:- within a church- episodes from the life of Christ; within a parliament building- shields of the constituencies; within a college hall- figures representing the arts and sciences.

Extractions: Home The Clergy Monthly Service Pattern The Church's History ... The War Memorial The windows that were installed when the church was completed in 1849, were all made by William Wailes of Newcastle. Wailes was a prolific glass manufacturer, and examples of his windows and repair work carried out by him, can be found in the city of York and much further afield. They form the windows on the West, North and East sides of the church, as well as one of the windows on the South side. In medieval times, before most people could read, stained glass windows were the Bible in pictures. This series of windows gives us some idea of what that must have been like. The sequence begins at the west end of the church with two old testament figures - Elijah and Moses. Moses is portrayed with a beard, and flowing hair. Rays of light appear at each side of his head, looking rather like horns. Some artists actually mistook the light for horns, so he is often portrayed with real horns! The next window takes us into the New Testament, showing St Simeon (Jesus being presented at the Temple) and John the Baptist (and Jesus being baptised). Originally, the font stood directly in front of this window, but in recent years it has been moved to a more central position. (There is a tiny font pictured at the top of the window).

Extractions: Church Guide (part 2) Go through the South Door The South Door and Porch The main entrance to the church is through the south door. Like the north porch, the south porch has two storeys; it also has statue niches and a carved lily pot, emblem of the Virgin Mary, to whom the church is dedicated. Both storeys were originally used by the Vicar and Churchwardens to conduct the business of the town, with church records and muniments kept in the upper storey. The Royal Commission volume on Huntingdonshire records that a date, with initials G 1623 W S, was formerly on the sundial surmounting the porch gable; it is now indecipherable. Today, as we step through the porch, we see words of Jesus from St Johns gospel above the inner door: I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. These words were placed there in the early 1990s for a flower festival and they invite us to enter the church seeking the light of Christ. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:1) The Font The font stands near the door of the church; it symbolises the entry of the baptised person into the community of the faithful.

Extractions: 162 Webster * Dual Use Buildings VIEW HISTORIC PHOTOS Wakehurst was the home of international sportsman, political figure and anglophile James J. Van Alen. The mansion, conceptualized in 1882, was built between 1884 and 1887. It was designed to replicate Wakehurst Place, an Elizabethan manor house built in Sussex, England in 1570, that still stands today. Charles Eamer Kempe, an English architect and stained glass artist drew the original plans to design the mansion. Newport architect Dudley Newton supervised the construction on Ochre Point Avenue, including the assembly of certain rooms that were created and built in England. The building of these rooms, the English Jacobean Long Hall, Dutch Renaissance den, and Bruges dining room, introduced the concept of the "museum room." The dining room was also the first actual neoclassical room by Robert Adam to be imported to America. It was intended that Wakehurst be a dramatic landmark with clusters of diamond-paned bay windows acting as beacons in the night. Because of Van Alen's romantic traditionalism, it was lit entirely by gaslight and candle for many years. The university purchased Wakehurst in 1972.

Nothing is known of the maker of the fourth window which depicts female figures personifying LOVE and FAITH standing against a background of foliage and fruits, and flying doves with angels bearing scrolls. The last window in this series depicts St Michael and St George with the coat-of-arms of Lord and Lady Inverclyde above. The window is the work of Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907).

Perhaps one of the most important and significant collections of rare stained glass in Australia is to be found at the Abbey Museum, largely housed within the Abbey Church. It includes the largest corpus of European medieval and renaissance stained glass in Australia. These include priceless fragments from a series of windows in the Lady Chapel of Winchester Cathedral, possibly commissioned in about 1490. In 1486 King Henry VII brought his wife, Elizabeth of York, to Winchester, which was believed to be the Camelot of King Arthur, where she gave birth to their first child, Prince Arthur. Gifts given by the Queen to the 'Priory of St Swithun in Winchester' at that time may have been used to fund the windows, which can be dated to that period and have been identified as containing scenes from the Book of Revelation, the nativity of Christ and a Jesse tree showing the ancestry of Christ according to the book of Matthew. These magnificent windows were largely destroyed during the English Civil War and in about 1900 were replaced by the famous maker of stained glass, Charles Eamer Kempe, as a thank offering for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. In 1934 the Abbey Folk Park acquired surviving fragments. They represent the largest remaining collection of medieval glass from Winchester. Friends of the Cathedral visited the Museum in 2002 to confirm the identification of the glass.
