To the Glory of God and in loving memory of James and Sarah Willcocks of Alto Vesta Saltash and
their sons Thomas and James all of whom lie buried in the family vault in this Church
Erected by their surviving son and brother John Roger Willcocks
The scene shown in a
I am the Light of the World
(John 8:12 )
is based on the series of paintings
‘The Light of the World’ by Holman Hunt which conflates the passage from St John’s gospel
with Behold, I stand at the door, and knock …
(Revelation 3:20 ).
In the work by Holman Hunt, as here,
Christ, wearing a crown of thorns, knocks with his right hand on an overgrown door that has no handle on the outside.
