The money for St Mary’s in Shrewsbury will help repair and conserve windows at the 900-year-old church. Full story:
The future of a Shrewsbury church's rare stained glass windows has been secured thanks to a £246,883 grant.
But the grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund will pay for the windows' repair and restoration.The Churches Conservation Trust said urgent work would now take place to stabilise, conserve and celebrate the stained glass at the Grade I listed building. The organisation said 12 windows would undergo work, including stained glass within the Trinity Chapel."This glass is unique in Britain and represents very fine work of a particular period, of which there are few surviving examples worldwide," a CCT statement said.
The grant will also help fund an activity programme, focusing on the crafts and history of St Mary's, and pay for a project officer who will work alongside volunteers and staff to deliver the scheme.
