More about this scene
One of All Saints' best-known features is the memorial window depicting characters from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice' stories. Lewis Carroll (his real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born at Daresbury parsonage on 27 January 1832, and lived at Daresbury until 1843. Much of the present church dates from the rebuilding of the 1870s, financed by Sir Gilbert Greenall, Lord of the Manor of Daresbury. Gilbert's twin brother, Richard, was rector of Stretton, and sometimes preached at Daresbury in the Dodgsons' time. Perhaps Carroll was later inspired by the Greenall twins in his creation of look-alike brothers Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
