Daresbury

All Saints’ Church in Daresbury has an absolutely unique stained glass window. There are panels depicting a Gryphon and a Cheshire Cat, others show a Mock Turtle, a March Hare and a Mad Hatter. This is of course the Lewis Carroll Memorial Window, commemorating the author of Alice in Wonderland. Carroll himself is shown at one side, dressed in clerical garb and kneeling. His father was Vicar of Daresbury when Carroll was born here in 1832, one of 11 siblings, and baptised as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. The boy enjoyed an apparently idyllic childhood at Daresbury (“the happy spot where I was born”) until his father moved to another parish when Charles/Lewis was eleven years old.
