The East Window at St John's has been removed for some much needed restoration and conservation. As a group we are delighted that such a beautiful piece of Victorian stained glass will be preserved for future generations.
Currently the Parish has raised £3,000 of the £12,000 cost. As there are 350 pieces of glass, why not sponsor one piece of glass for £25. This could be for yourself or in memory of a loved one. Donations for the window can be made directly to the Catholic Parish of St John the Baptist (please visit window.meltoncatholics.com for more information).
If you wish to donate via the Friends of St John's, please send any monies to:
Ann Kirby, 40 Kings Road, Melton Mowbray, LE13 1QF
Please make cheques payable to 'Friends of St John's Church, Melton Mowbray'. Bank transfer is available on request. All donations may be Gift Aided.
