ALL SAINTS CHURCH
Inside the church you can view the magnificent stained glass windows, commemorating Lifeboat disasters and the Railway. The church bells originally belonged to the Jesuit church of La Campania, in Santiago, Chile.
MUMBLES LIFEBOAT WINDOW
The Lifeboat Window is perhaps the most famous. It is in memory of the eight lifeboat crew who drowned attempting to rescue the stricken ship “Samtampa” stranded on the rocks off Sker Point.
The window was installed in 1977 and tells the story of a major lifeboat tragedy with the wreckage of the “Samtampa” and the upturned lifeboat in the centre. In the top of the window, the eight lifeboat men are standing over the roaring sea. In the bottom of the window are rocks, the lifeboat house and a village street with cottages
REMEMBRANCE WINDOWS
St. Christopher's Window, on the west wall beside the door is a stained glass window commemorating the locality's connection with Mumbles Railway. St. Christopher is in the middle and the 3 different mumbles trains are depicted, as well as Oystermouth Castle and the Lighthouse.
I have put this cache here hoping people will go into the Church to see the stained glass windows.
The Church is usually open from 9.30am - 12 noon in the winter & 9.30 - 4.00pm in the summer.
