Stained Glass Windows in the Churches of Rockingham
Preface
The stained glass windows in Rockingham County tend to be less ornate than those in
Harrisonburg. The congregations have been made of people that lead a more basic lifestyle and the
churches reflect this.
Also these churches often have small, often round. windows with painted biblical themes. These
themes tend to be repeated in the various churches. For the purposes of this document, they are called
“medallions”.
This publication is an addition to the booklet “The Stained Glass Windows in the Churches of
Harrisonburg”. It is organized by areas of Rockingham County and the towns in those areas.
A primary objective of this project is to preserve images not only of the church itself, but to have
records of the stained windows. Already in 2014 various churches have disappeared and their windows
no longer exist.
There are a number of churches that have simple small stained glass windows typically around
the sanctuary with no ornamental designs. These churches / windows are not included here.
Cover: “Jesus and Lamb”, a panel from The Dayton Presbyterian Church large window.
