Stained Glass Windows



March's Theme Day is "Glass" and today's photo shows some of the historic stained glass windows in Ashton's Parish Church.

The picture shows some of the eighteen panels of stained glass that depict the life of St Helena, and these are reckoned to be some of the finest examples of 15th century stained glass in England.

The glass was was re-located to its present positions when the outside of the church was re-built in the Victorian period.

Our usual Sunday Stroll will be back next week!
