Party gathering: art and history of Church Lighting
A party gathering was held after the evening mass celebrating Candlemass on Sunday 1 February 2015.
Father Ed spoke on the significance of lights in religion, and Anthony Burton gave a short slideshow on the art-historical aspects of church lighting (candlesticks, chandeliers, coronae, gasoliers and electrical fittings). Jean Tipper introduced the newly established Friends charitable trust.
St Martin's Low Marple Heritage Trust set up!
Our application to the Charity Commission to set up a charitable trust was approved on 28 July 2014, and we are now proceeding to develop the work of the Trust and to recruit Friends, as described in this website.
Introductory Lectures
Two lectures were given by Anthony Burton:
- “The Beauty of Holiness: The background to the artistic heritage of St Martin’s” on Friday 11 July 2014.
- “The Making of St Martin’s: The aggregation of an Arts and Crafts Church” on Friday 18 July 2014.
These attracted remarkably good audiences, and aroused local interest, including some invitations to repeat the talks to other bodies. If you are interested in a repeat performance, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
