Activities
The church is normally closed, except for services, but will be open on Doors Open Day to allow visitors to view the interior, and in particular, the magnificent stained glass window at the east end. The window was made in America by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1903 to commemorate Percy Forbes-Leith of Fyvie Castle who died in the South Africa War in 1900. The window depicts St George wearing a suit of armour and holding a flaming sword in his right hand and the banner of the cross in his left hand.?
