Sarah Corfield Window

Sarah Corfield was the mother of the then Rector Claud Corfield and wife of Frederick Corfield who had been the Rector of the Church during the Victorian rebuild.

The Church had been closed for decoration (date to be confirmed) during which time the redos and gas lighting had been fitted. It appears that the window was added during the decoration of the Church as a suprise for the Church.

It is a Jones and Willis window and whilst a very good quality window suffers from being on the North side of the Church and as such does not get the light behind it that it need for the decoration on the darker colours to stand out properly.

It was dedicated on the Wakes feast held that year on August the 11th by the Rev. Henry Rogers vicar of Riddings who also preched during the service on the words "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go unto the house of the Lord".
