Recollections
Kneelers for All
In 1988, after several members of the congregation complained about the hard floor and uncomfortable kneelers, the Craft & Chat group and people from church and the local community enthusiastically set about embroidering kneelers in a wide variety of designs and colours, each chosen and paid for individually and with special dedications. (These can be found on the underside of each kneeler.)
46 kneelers were commissioned to begin with, but as interest grew, 120 were eventually created. Kneelers designed for and used in the long gone choir stalls are now stored behind the back pew. Two wedding kneelers and a baptismal kneeler were also embroidered and the Mother’s Union bought and worked the three specially commissioned long kneelers in current use at the altar rail.
100 Club January’s winner is Adam Luke - £30.50.
