replied on: 10/18/2006 10:11:22 PM Whereabouts was that one from Jennypeg? I'm getting very impressed! Interesting in that one that it says that the Rays both died in 1855, but from your article on one of the other threads the paper said it was installed after the Victorian rebuild was completed in 1868... The Robert Henry Robinson one I've found was one of the ones I could find no evidence of (the one with the man kneeling) The only refeance I have found to it just says that it was a parable of the talents - though no evidence as to what happened to it. I've been informed by one of the an older member of the congregation that when the windows were restored there was nowhere to fit the Cattle window due to its size, they have said that the college was given the window (due to an unclear connection with the Cattle family and the Technical school) as they wanted to make a feature of it, but due to the college's own eventual building changes the window was never used. How reliable that information is after 25 years ago is debateable though. On a kind of related but kind of not note, does the HDLH society have an old Cine player, we've found two cinefilm reels that are just labeled "rebuild" and as with a lot of other things no-one seems to remember it or exactly what was on it. |

replied on: 10/19/2006 7:30:07 AM The two children died 1855 and 1856;Mr John Ray died 27th December 1867, so maybe Mrs Ray now had her own money to buy the window in 1868? Mr Ray's Will was also in the paper. Jenny |

replied on: 10/19/2006 10:13:58 PM ReeMee, We have already had quotes, but all the professional ones are in the region of £80+ so we want to know what is on it first - ie is it worth transfering or not |

replied on: 10/20/2006 1:06:52 AM Tempus The professionals will always charge a bomb! I'm seeing someone in the next week or so who recently transferred a cine to video - I'll see what they say. I myself can transfer a video to DVD. Robert |

replied on: 10/30/2006 2:30:06 PM Don't hold your breath, but, I have remembered hearing of a boxed-up stained glass window from St. Lawrence's, which was knocking around some 20 years ago. I am making some enquiries to try to track it down. |

replied on: 11/11/2006 1:32:15 PM We now have the ability to transfer from video to DVD, if we contact your friend do you know how much he would charge to transfer to video... then if it turns out be be a really good documentary of the demoltion / rebuild we can go the whole hog and have it done professionally, if not we can just update onto DVD and send the cinefilm off to be preserved. |

replied on: 11/11/2006 4:28:21 PM No, I checked and I'm afraid he doesn't have the capability to do it after all. It's going to be a case of hunting around for a cheaper professional I fear. On the subject of the missing window, I raised this at the committee meeting this week, and several different lines of enquiry are being conducted to find out where it may be. I will get back to you if and when we get a result! |

replied on: 11/11/2006 7:42:20 PM lol.. not sure what will happen if we find it as there are no spare windows in the church for its size... one of the old Churchwardens says that the college were going to put it in their windows, but I'm not sure where they would have put it either... wonder if it would fit in the library's large window - I would imagine due to the subject it would classify as a war memorial for grants to restore. Apologies to everyone for the scaffolding on the tower at the moment we've had to board up the West window due to the continued damage the kids have been doing while we wait for the plexi-glass cover. On the plus side the restorer was very impressed by the quality of Heanors stained glass. Especially the Mayers and Gibbs windows. |

The window represents “The Parable of the Talents,” and contains the following inscription: “To the Glory of God, and in loving memory of Thomas Mayfield, J.P. for nine years churchwarden of this church, and for 33 years teacher and superintendent in its schools; born September 18th 1844; fell asleep March 28th 1910. This window was erected in recognition of his faithful work to his Master.” At the foot, engraved on a scroll, are the words “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. The window has been raised by collections in the five churches in Heanor parish and Sunday schools, and by private subscription from numerous friends. Mr H. Dix and a strong committee have carried out the arrangements. Among the various bodies which were represented at the church for the ceremony were the Heanor Urban District Council, Heanor and District Old Soldiers, St John Ambulance, Boy Scouts, Church Lads Brigade, Heanor Technical Staff, Heanor Conservative Association and Heanor Liberal Federation. Master Leslie Mayfield, son of Mr Harry B. Mayfield and grandson of the late Thomas Mayfield, unveiled the window, and Canon Corfield, the late rector, read the dedicatory prayers. In his sermon Canon Corfield referred to the excellent traits of character, example, ------------ and Christian energy which were always manifested by their highly respected and much missed friend the late Thomas Mayfield. At night the Rev. Ashley T. Corfield preached his first sermon at the Parish church. His induction takes place on the 21st. Jenny |

replied on: 11/25/2006 11:13:47 AM Yes, there were two windows that were "Talent" windows. The earliest is one of the lights in the Ray Window (still in current church) with its sister light having the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. The second was Mayfield's, we have a copy of the insription but the few photos we have are very grainy and were only indirectly showing the window. The parish magazines usually went into quite a bit of a descripton of the windows, but all the oldest ones I've located so far don't go further than 1909... think everyone chose the same year to have there copies bound  Interestingly I've found evidence of a window that seems to have been removed way before the rebuild, even the oldest people in the church don't recognise its description, and its not in the historical handbook so it must have been removed before the 1950s at least. It would have shown a crowned risen Christ dressed in white wearing a red cloak, with his right hand raised in blessing with a gold and white background behind him. With a "ribbon"/banner behind saying "Peace be unto you". I thought at first that it may have been in the tower window before the current one (soon to be repaired now the is a new plexiglass covering to prevent further damage) but the parish magazine seems to indicate that between the old tower window (two stories of windows- see the "picture the past" website) and the current window that the window was plain glass. Seems as fast as we clear things up about the church more questions pop up... |
