Stunning Art Nouveau Stained Glass in Sedburgh

Stained glass by Frederick George Simon

Just outside the National Park but well worth the effort, Saint Gregory’s Church in the Vale of Lune was built in the 1860’s and designated a World Heritage site in 1983. The beautiful stained glass windows were designed by Frederick George Simon and installed in the early 1900’s. They feature natural scenes rather than religious themes. It can be found on the A684 to the west of Sedburgh. The church has not been in use for some time and, if not open, the keys can be obtained from the house next door.
