Organ Screen

An organ screen was presented by John Edward Parry (churchwarden 1929-1947) in memory of his wife Constance Hasebridge Parry, and it was dedicated by The VeryReverend A S Duncan-Jones B.D. Dean of Chichester on 23rd April 1950.

The central panel depicts Our Saviour as an Eastern shepherd, with the emblems of the Passion above. To the left of the central figure is a painting of St Peter, whose features are modelled on the Reverend Stansfield. The adjoining panel shows a chorister of Chichester Cathedral, with the Arms of the Chapter above, while the final panel on the left portrays an Angel of the Apocalypse.

To the right of the central figure, the first painting depicts St Paul, whose features are those of Sir Hubert Parry. The next panel shows a chorister of the Chapels Royal, with the Royal Arms above, and the final painting is again of an Angel of the Apocalypse.

 

Visitors are encouraged to take their time exploring the many memorials and stained-glass windows throughout the church, each reflecting the rich and layered history of St Peter and St Paul, Rustington.
