Click on image to see more... and new carpet for the central aisle too!
"A new custom-weave central aisle carpet was laid in church just before Christmas. Made and designed by Woven Carpets of Kidderminster, it continues the staging blue background with other colours present in the church, including: red from Mary's robes and deep blue from the sky in the Burne-Jones window; and terracotta, cream and white in diamond and edging patterns from the Choir's Victorian tiling.
Our old central carpet runner is now to go to the Kidderminster CarpetMuseum (due to be opened in October 2012 by Lord Cobham). In St Mary's since the 1960s, the Carpet Museum's Curator Richard Pugh-Cook has suggested that it may have been woven in the 1920s. Considering that it may be nearly 90 years old, the carpet has retained its colour vibrancy superbly, despite now being threadbare in places." | WELCOME TO ST MARY'SNow well into the New Year, with Christmas celebrations behind us, we look forward to welcoming you and to all that God has in store for us as a Christian community over the coming months. Details of our worship and many other activities can be found throughout this website, so please do browse.
