St Lawrence stained glass replied on: 8/28/2006 4:41:38 PM Unknown window Unfortuantly the only photo's I have found of this photo so far are ones that were poorly taken. Does anyone know anything about this window? From the research done so far (but not yet transcribed) there was talk after Claud Corfield left Heanor to having a new window erected in thanksgiving for his service. It is possible that this was the window. In Cox's book of Derbyshire Churches (1879) He refers to Dugdale and Ashmoles visitation of Heanor Church decribing one of the windows as : "...in the East window of the south aisle - 'a bishop with a miter on his head and a crosier in his right hand, and before him kneeling a man in armour, bare headed, with a close sur cote of the arms of grey. Betwixt which bishop and knight is the helme and crest...' " From the description it would appear that the window was an attempt to recreate "lost Heanor" by recreating the windows general form.
