Wainwright Window Becomes Storm Victim Print
Written by Peter Burgess   
Friday, 25 January 2008

Photo of the Wainwright WindowPeter Hardy and John Burland, via the AW Society site, have made people aware of the  problem with the window in St. James' Buttermere and I hope we can help the Reverend Margaret Jenkinson with her efforts to raise £1000 or so for the repair of the afforementioned window, as well as other windows in the beautiful church overlooking Buttermere.

A more detailed news item outlining the current situation is highlighted on the 'Times and Star' site.

Any OFC member who would like to make a contribution to the repair costs may send a cheque made payable to the 'Buttermere PCC' and send it directly to Rev Jenkinson at Loweswater. Please add a note marked: "Wainwright Window Repairs". 

Roger and Ann Hiley add:-
"For those who have not seen the window, which frames Haystacks beautifully, here is a link to a walk in the area last year. The window and plaque are the final two photos.  Buttermere Church has a very small regular congregation, and Margaret Jenkinson, as mentioned in the news article, is the Vicar for the three Churches in our valley, Loweswater and Lorton included."

St James church, ButtermereThanking you in advance for any contributions.

Ad altiora!
Peter

Scafell - "Portrait of a Mountain" by Bill Birkett

On one of my trips ‘north’ I had the good fortune to meet one of those people who to me represents the grassroots of the Cumbrian celebratory.   Of course, amongst the climbing fraternity, Bill is famous as not only the son of Lakeland pioneer cragsman Jim Birkett, but also as a fine climber and author in his own right.  In 2008 this book won best illustration and presentation and was runner-up 'Lakeland Book of the Year'...
