St Lawrence stained glass
replied on: 8/25/2006 7:59:55 PM  The Corfield window was dedicated on Sunday, March 16th. There were three dedication services; the morning sermon preached by Rev. G. Edcoombe M.A. Rector of St Peter’s Nottinham, the afternoon sermon by the Rector of Gedling and the evening by the Rev. C.E.L. Corfield M.A. Vicar of Shirley later "Rector" of Heanor. The window was designed and made by Mayer & Co. of London and Munich as the East Window of the Chancel in memory of Rev. Frederick Corfield, late Vicar of Shirley, and from 1864 to 1879 "Rector" of Heanor. It was under Frederick Corfield's term as "Rector" that the 15 Century Church was demolished and the Victorian Church with its woefully inadequate foundation was built. The window was largly paid for by people of Heanor at a cost of £150. I hope to have the list of subscribers who paid for the window transcribed shortly. |
