St John
the Baptist is home to the Luke Tapestry, which is a tapestry carpet
designed and worked by Doctor A. Wood in Penshurst in memory of his
father, Doctor C. Wood, who himself was a doctor in the village for
more than 50 years. The tapestry is dedicated to Saint Luke, the first
Christian physician, whose altar stands in the south aisle of the
church. The tapestry was two years in the making and was completed
in February 1970. Though it is the work of one pair of hands, several
others in the parish assisted with drawings, information, and in other
ways.
