World War One window restored at Paul Church

April 10, 2018 by Susan Roberts Leave a Comment

The amazing World War 1 window at Paul Church has now been restored. It had looked impressive enough before – but the new work has revealed so many details. Here are just a few. It’s frustratingly difficult to take photos of the window as so much light streams through it now! Even more reason to go and visit.  Robert Anning Bell, the Arts and Crafts movement artist, designed this window, honouring local man Lieutenant William Torquil Macleod Bolitho who was killed on 24 May 1915 during the Second Battle of Ypres.   Click here to read more about Paul Church’s extremely hard work to get this restoration funded and completed.
