A new altar frontal and pulpit have been dedicated in a service at St Giles Church in Whittington.

They have been designed and made by Megan Barr over the past nine months using a combination of satins and gold fabrics, with genuine gold threads and gold leatherwork.

It replaces a very old frontal which had sadly completely rotted away and was unusable.

It was dedicated during the service by Rev Brian Maguire.

Meanwhile, a fundraising campaign has been launched to help support planned improvements at the church which are due to begin in June.

Churchwarden David Clarke, said:

> “We are beginning a project to ease our building into the 21st century, without destroying its character and essential purpose as a place of worship, reflection and quiet.  
>  
> “Our intention is to make our church more welcoming, accessible, and hospitable for our congregation, for visitors and for the wider community.  
>  
> “We hope to offer the church to the community for children’s and small group activities, meetings, concerts and similar larger events, with up-to-date facilities and space to be both formal and informal.  
>  
> “We have some funds available to pay part of the cost up front, but we will seek to raise a substantial element through fundraising activity.  
>  
> “There will be plenty of opportunities for church members and the wider Whittington community to join in and to take part in fundraising events.”
