The WIndows
Repairing and Protecting the Windows
St Augustine's has a number of historic stained glass windows
The lancet windows in the sanctuary and the window in the North wall of the chancel are 13th century - the glazing by the Victorian C E Kempe, one in memory of Percy, the eight Baron Barrington who died in 1881
The East window is by Clayton & Bell and is pictured below
The West window is 19th century by Hardman
In the south wall there is a window dedicated to Jane Elizabeth, Viscount Barrington, who was born in 1804 and died 79 years later
The window in the south wall of the vestry was re-arranged in 1981 from fragments of medieval glass
We are currently fund raising to restore, clean and protect the windows following a recent survey
Repairing and Protecting the Windows
We have now started some work on our windows thanks for the kind support from our Friends organisation FOStA and also through supporters generating free cashabck through Easyfundraising.
Lots to do and also fund raise for but it is a start. The first window is one at the rear that was in very bad condition (before and after).
This will cost nearly £13,000 and, if you can donate towards this, please click here
Your support would be truly appreciated
It costs over £20,000 each year to keep the church open and maintain the churchyard. If you are able to help at all, please click here or on the Parish Giving icon below. Thank you
