This evening, the Annunciation window was installed in St. Peter’s church. Designed by Meg Lawrence of Radnor, Wales, it was fitted by Ian Pocklington of Norfolk. The installation work will be completed on Wednesday morning. The window was donated by Roger Graham, now of Breaston, near Derby, in memory of his grandmother and aunt, both of whom were postmistresses of Parwich. The window shows the Archangel Gabriel – patron saint of postmasters and postmistresses – telling the Blessed Virgin Mary that she will bear God’s Son. The window will be dedicated by the Bishop of Repton at a service on Sunday 6th July at 6 pm, which will be the climax of St. Peter’s Flower Festival.

Our four hundredth post, and it also brings good news.
Gosh, that really is absolutely beautiful. I also love the text, and especially the little details at the bottom…
Thank you Rosie for telling me about the cats, birds, cows and pigs in the boarder. I missed them completely on the first viewing so had to go back for a second look. They are great fun.
The Grahams kept cows and pigs, had pet cats, but what is the significance of the birds?
Although living elsewhere it is impressive that the family still feel such a strong link to the village.
Hello,
I take your beatiful image of the Annunciation for my Blog on Saint Paul and religious blog, I hope this not dislike, and thans,
