In the last 50 years – have you attended St Mary’s Church, Woodkirk?
Have you had your wedding here? The funeral of a loved one? A child baptised?
If so, you will have sat in front of our beautiful East Window.
The stonework to the chancel window all appears to be by Furness 1834, but is a more or less faithful replica of the early c14 window based on the evidence of the Chantrell watercolour in the church. The glass of the chancel east window is signed O’Connor and dated 1867. The main lights depict The Crucifixion, flanked by the four Evangelists; the subject of the tracery panels is Pentecost.
We have already raised over £40000 but need over £80000 to complete the project so any donations would be more than welcome.
