Designed in 1990 by Tim Stead, St John's furnishings are the most modern contribution to the Kirk. They consist of a rood screen, numerous high-backed chairs, a table and a lectern. They are made from laminations of different coloured wood. Light, serene and elegant, the woodwork in St John's Chapel is both original and unforgettable. Using walnut, em, beech, rowan, yew and maple, the wood layers spell out the words 'We Remember Yew'.
