Window shown in bedroom picture exhibited at museum

SPOTTED: Reader Jacqueline Eyre was thrilled to realise a painting she owned is also depicted in a stained glass window saved from an historic chapel.

The 70-year-old of Attlee Road, Cheadle, made the discovery after reading about Hanley's Bethesda Chapel in The Sentinel .

Mrs Eyre, known as Tessa, realised the painting, pictured, which she inherited from her mother, shows the same design as a window on show at The Potteries Museum. Both are thought to be copies of a painting called The Light of the World by W Holman Hunt.

Mrs Eyre's mother Phyllis Allen bought the print from a charity shop in Cheadle.

Mrs Eyre said: "I was so excited when I saw the painting as I realised it was the same one I'd had all these years."

The window will be on display at The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, in Hanley, until May 9 as part of the exhibition Building Jerusalem: Bethesda Chapel Reborn. It explores the chapel's history and features the window saved in 1985.
