MORGAN motor cars were immortalised in unusual fashion at the weekend - when a stained-glass window picturing the Malvern firm was unveiled in a Herefordshire church.

Motoring enthusiasts congregated at St Peter and St Paul's Church, in Stoke Lacey, near Bromyard, to witness the opening ceremony on Saturday.

Created by artist Susan Ashworth, the window was dedicated in memory of Peter Morgan, former managing director and chairman of Morgan Cars, who died in 2003.

The window depicts one of the company's famous cars, Mr Morgan himself, the company badge and a back-drop of the Malvern Hills.

Church warden John Caiger said the Morgan family had a long association with the Stoke Lacey church.

"Peter Morgan's grandfather, Henry Morgan, was rector for 50 years from 1937 to 1987 and his great grandfather was rector from 1871 to 1877. The window complements the Morgan stained-glass window already installed five years ago.

"Some of Peter Morgan's other ancestors are featured in other stained glass windows in the church."

Ms Ashworth described it as "the most enormous privilege" to be commissioned to make the window.
