St.
Mary's Ascension Window
For the past few
years, members of the Church Committee have been monitoring the
condition of our stained glass windows. Alex Allardt, our resident
preservation authority, has been guiding us through this process and
made a presentation about the stained glass windows to the Vestry at
their April 2004 meeting. After
diligent and conscientious study, the Vestry awarded the work of
restoring the Ascension Window to New England Stained Glass located
in North Attleboro,
MA.
The
window was removed the week of August 23rd and re-installed just two
days prior to Christmas on December 23, 2004. The
following photos provide a glimpse of the removed window and the
installation process of the Ascension window. Special thanks to
Debby Timby who captured the installation of the window in the
photos below.
