Church History

In 1851 a new east window is installed

– and replaced by another in 1891

 

At the end of the 19th century the earlier destructive work of Thomas Johnson is undone to some extent as angel figures are restored to the chancel and south aisle roofs.

 

The 20th century produces a flurry of activity which does much to restore earlier neglect

 

1900  new clock in the Tower

 

1903  organ rebuilt and placed in north aisle

1930  organ restored  

 

1906  new high altar table

1906  restoration of the Tower

 

1908  twelve candelabra – originally candles or gas – are introduced into the aisles of the church

1914  electricity is introduced into the Church

 

1908  the wooden lectern is replaced

1908  a new moulded chancel arch and the renovation of chancel roof
