Runnymede Memorial
A large arched window - the great north window - is engraved with the words from the 139th Psalm, sometimes called the Airman's Psalm - Runnymede Memorial - April 2017 … photo courtesy of Marg Liessens. If I climb up into Heaven, Thou art there; If I go to Hell, Thou art there also. If I take the wings of the morning And remain in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there also shall Thy hand lead me; And Thy right hand shall hold me. -
