The Choir and Organ Loft



Our choir, when accompanied by the organ, are housed in the Choir Loft. The organ is here too. The loft has a magnificent backdrop in the stained glass window which is set in the west wall.

 The fine pipe organ was brought to Corpus Christi from the Mary Ward Teachers Training College when it closed.
The other striking feature about the choir loft is the modern stained glass window depicting events from the bible from creation to the new covenant brought to man through Christ. Each panel depicts various events and so each is considered in turn below. We start with the centre two panels and then move anti-clockwise. Genesis tells us: "God planted a garden in Eden which is in the east and there he put the man he had fashioned."
The man is known as Adam, a collective noun for mankind. Later we are told the man named his wife 'Eve' because she was mother of all those who live. ('Eve' derives from the Hebrew verb 'to live')
