St John The Evangelist Church Sidcup

Statues of the Apostles
The statues of the apostles were given by Mrs. Shirley Woolmer in memory of her husband, the Rev. Charles Edwards Shirley Woolmer, Vicar of St. John's from 1887 - 1902, and to whose initiative the present nave is largely due.
The left hand (or north side) paired group are, commencing at the bottom: St. John and St. Peter; St. Simon and St. James the Less; St. Matthias and St. Thomas. The right hand (or south side) paired group are: St. Bartholomew and St. Andrew; St. Jude and St. James the Great; St. Philip and St. Matthew. High in their places above the apostles stand the archangels St. Michael and St. Gabriel.
These figures were dedicated on Trinity Sunday, 1903
