Today saw the installation of the first protective panel on the exterior of the "Anunciation" window in the parish church. These unique set of ten painted & enamelled glass lights, the work of Joshua Price of York, were made in 1719 and are in need of constant care and attention in order to keep then in their immaculate condition. The P.C.C. have therefore decided that, in order of priority, each window will be protected externally by a panel of special transparent glass-fibre, in order to prevent damage from the weather. Over the next few months each window in turn will be thus treated and also monitoring equipment will be installed in the church to check the windows' condition. Hopefully these measures will help to prolong the life of this historically important asset for decades to come.
