St Andrew's Church Croydon. Font with seven panels by local artist, Cicely Mary Barker depicting the Seven Sacraments

Cicely Mary Barker, 1895 - 1973, was a local artist who lived within a few minutes walk of this delightful church. She painted seven panels for the font depicting the Seven Sacraments. Larger, more public works by her can be seen in other south London churches. She is known to have used local people as models and it is interesting to wonder how many of the subjects in these panels can remember being painted by her, or who can remember relatives' tales of having been part of this work. Some sceens clearly seem to be placed in this church.
She is more famous perhaps as creator of the Flower Fairies, which perenially popular works can be seen in print to this day, and are reproduced in many other forms.
