His Wonderful Deeds in the Deep

Art Made by St. Ursula’s School

68 Crooms Hill, Greenwich, SE10 8HG

2019 has been dominated by the call to action to save our planet. From plastic pollution in our seas to raging fires in the Amazon, we are all aware of hour our home, Earth, needs help.

Now at Christmas, when we take the time to reflect on our lives and how we can serve, we must ensure there is a focus to preserving and reversing some of the damage done to our beautiful planet.

This oceanic window draws on inspiration from pattern in cultural art and design from all over the world, highlighting the global need for change and unity.

Our window can be seen at the Presbytery of the church on 68 Crooms Hill. The artwork was completed by the school’s art department with assistance from the St. Ursula’s students.

The window is best viewed after dark.
