It is hoped money can be raised to repair the window and the people of St Walburge’s are holding a Summer Fair on Sunday 31st July, from 12.30 to 4.00 pm in the church hall.

There will also be the opportunity to take a tour of the church and, for the energetic, to climb the 170-odd steps up the spire to see the fantastic view.

The church hopes for the support of the people of Preston and beyond to save the window so that future generations can continue to enjoy it.

You can donate to the rose window collection here. Please state the money is for the window.
