Open day at Kirkbampton Church

Saturday 29 September 2018, 1.00-4.00pm

St Peter's church in Kirkbampton, North Cumbria, has a beautiful stained glass window of 1871 by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co (later Morris & Co). The angels were designed by Morris and the central figure of Christ designed by Burne-Jones. Conservation work is now needed to ensure the windows survive. 

The open day will consist of introductory talks and a tour of the church, followed by a cream tea in the village hall.

Parishioner Stuart Kay wll introduce the church and its history and SPAB Fellow Lizzy Hippisley-Cox will talk about conservation work. There will also be a short talk on 'Burne-Jones at the Crossroads' given by art historian William Waters. 

Meet at Kirkbampton's Village Hall, where there is parking and facilities.

There is no charge for the event, but RSVP is appreciated for numbers. Please contact: kirkbamptonPCC@gmail.com.

Any donations raised will support the conservation of the window.

About SPAB in the North

The SPAB in the North Group covers Cumbria, Durham and Northumberland was established in Spring 2015 by Dearbhail Keating. Before this the Group had operated as SPAB in the North West under Elaine Blackett-Ord. To date we have enjoyed a variety of visits, from tours of beautiful houses such as Blackwell, to site visits on live projects such as Warwick Bridge Mill and even practical days of lime pointing and plastering.
