October Talk

The speaker this month was Anne Robinson who came tell us all about the restoration of a  Medieval Chasuble which can be seen at St John the Evangelist Church, Poulton-le-Fylde. Very much on own patch as it were.
Anne showed a series of PowerPoint slides demonstrating the areas in need of restoration and how they looked once they had been restored.  She also told us about the history of the Chasuble and how it came to be in the hands of St John’s church which was really interesting.

She also brought a lot of photographs to show us.  I have since been to the church to view the Chasuble. It is in a glass cabinet and I felt really pleased to be able to view it in such close detail and to be aware of what an interesting piece of history was so close to where we are based. You can read all about it on this link. The information about the chasuble is quite a way down the page.  The Chasuble
