Peter 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." Thanking you in advance for any contributions.
Ad altiora! Peter
