Our Lady of Saddleworth
The New window is of more modern design than the older windows. It was sketched by a local artist, a member of the Parish, Anne Kirkman, and installed by a local designer of stained glsss windows. (Such as happened in medieval times) It represents something of the history of the ethos and the environs of Saddleworth. Hence the background is moorland with the canal in the foreground and Pots-and Pans in the backdrop to the scene. Mary wears the woven shawl of a 19th century Mill girl. The colours chosen are based on 13th Centuries frescos painted in the Scroveni Chapel at Padua. |
