About the event:
St. John's Church, 22–29 November, 10am–3pm

St. John's Church is delighted to host a special photography exhibition in honour of Norman Browne's 90th birthday. The exhibition, titled "Tread Softly in This Precious Paradise," celebrates a lifetime devoted to capturing the beauty and fragility of the natural world.

Norman's love of photography began in childhood, inspired by his father, who won an award for his photography the year Norman was born. His father taught him the craft and Norman spent decades working exclusively with film cameras.

The exhibition features a stunning collection of landscapes from the USA, Canada, and France right through to the beautiful coastlines of the West Country. Amongst the prints featured is a striking image of Ben Nevis, taken in 1950 and developed over 50 years ago in Norman's own darkroom.

In addition, St. John's Model Railway Group will be appearing on Saturday 22nd November, with their detailed model of Yeovil Junction. Norman was a valued member of this group for many years, contributing to the development of the model and remaining a passionate advocate for local transport throughout his life.

Visitors are invited to experience this remarkable retrospective from 22nd to 29th November at St. John's Church, where Norman's work reminds us to "tread softly" and appreciate the precious world we share.

Admission to the exhibition is free. Photographs can be purchased on a donation basis in support of St. John's Church & Christians Against Poverty.

St John's Church, Yeovil

St John's church is a friendly and welcoming church in the heart of Yeovil. Our church family covers all ages, and we have a broad range of backgrounds and interests which is reflected in our church life.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

St John’s is a place of hospitality, where all are welcomed. It is our aim to ensure that whoever enters our church feels the warmth of friendship, and the opportunity to meet with God in a place where they feel comfortable.

This may mean sitting in a place that is tucked away to one side, or near the toilet, or sat close to the door for a quick escape. We are happy to move chairs to make more space for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Just let us know how we can help you to feel more comfortable and safer and we will do what we can to achieve this.
