Stained glass windows in memory of two Priston villagers who worshipped in the church of St Luke and St Andrew have been dedicated.

The two new windows, which were dedicated by the Bishop of Taunton, the Rt Rev Peter Maurice, have been given to the church by the family of Margaret and Jim Hopwood and were created by their daughter.

The couple lived and worshipped in the parish from 1963 until their deaths in 1994 and 2003.

They were made by stained glass artist Nicola Hopwood at her studio near Hay-on-Wye.

The themes for the windows are Rejoice in the Lord Always, which was a suggestion from within the parish. The third theme is that of unconditional love, the relationship between God and his church and parent and child.

Nicola said: "The aim was for the stained glass to provide a joyful, uplifting new work with a depth of meaning for the viewer to explore; and which is dedicated to the glory of God.

"It was also to improve the quality of light in this part of the church and to connect the inner space with the outside, a large open churchyard, through the use of pale or clear glass as well as areas of rich colour."

The dedication took place during the church's Palm Sunday service.
