The exciting new window is almost complete, with final pieces and sections now being leaded together, and preparations are being made for its installation in the Lady Chapel. The window, celebrating village life over 1000 years is twelve feet high, with the figure of Christ in the centre, will be erected in sections, and take about five days to install, and it is hoped that this will be done in the early part of October. The effect of the light coming through this window will be stunning, and be a wonderful addition to St James’ Church. The designer Bill Davies has created the window based on ideas of members of the community, and will reflect the working together of whole community, and particularly Churches Together in Christleton.

This series of photographs including close ups showing some detail was taken by Richard Nicholson in the company of Jan Bowden at the studio of Bill Davies in Irby on 19th September, 2002.
