Update on the Transfiguration of Christ Window
Holywell Glass removed the central pane of the Transfiguration of Christ window on 23 February and have taken it to their workshops to be repaired. It will take 6-8 weeks. They have also surveyed the stained-glass windows in the chancel which were highlighted in the 2020 Quinquennial Report. David Budd – Church Warden
