replied on: 10/17/2006 8:29:13 AM 19TH March 1920 Ripley & Heanor News MEMORIAL WINDOW AT HEANOR DEDICATION BY BISHOP OF SOUTHWELL On Sunday, in the presence of a crowd congregation, the Lord Bishop of Southwell dedicated a memorial window placed in the church of St Lawrence by Mr. F. and Mrs Eric Cattle, Ravenswood, Heanor, in memory of their two sons, Capt James Henry Nightingale Cattle, 4th North Midland Brigade, R.F.A., who died of wounds at Bully-Grenayan Mayy 1st 1917, and of Lieut Eustace Shipstone Cattle M.C., 5th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regt., believed to have been killed in action near Thiepval on July 7th 1916. The window, which was beautifully designed by Mr. A. G. Wheeler, of Eastwood, contains true lifelike portraits of the two gallant officers. Mrs Eric Cattle who was accompanied by her husband and daughter, performed the unveiling ceremony, and the Lord Bishop dedicated the window. During the service the Bishop held a confirmation, when candidates from Heanor, Marlpool, and Langley, to the number of about 60, were confirmed. His Lordship having addressed the candidates upon their duties to themselves, the Church, and to God, afterwards spoke to the great congregation. The offertory was in aid of the Church expenses. |
