Repairs to the window in the Tower belfry
This is a four lancet window with stained glass panels illustrating the Nativity, Baptism in the Jordan, Jesus blessing children and The Good Shepherd. They were built by Henry Hughes of London in 1890 and dedicated by the then Rector, Canon Master.
The two inner lancets were rebuilt in 1898 but the outer pair are bowed and leaking. Water is seeping on to the stained glass which is losing colour and definition as a result. Both lancets need rebuilding if serious damage is to be avoided. The budget for this part of the project is £10,500 based on estimates provided by Pendle Stained Glass; details are as follows.
