Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Dodgson) is, of course well known in Oxfordshire where he spent much of his life and has many connections. On Saturday, I happened to be in the village of Daresbury in Cheshire, which I discovered is his birthplace. In the Daniell Chapel within the local All Saints Church, there is the unusual Lewis Carroll Memorial Window, which was paid for by enthusiasts all over the world to mark the centenary of his birth (1832).
As shown above, the lower part of the window contains several interesting panels depicting characters and scenes from Alice in Wonderland.
