Correspondence about a possible new window following damage to the one in situ. Includes letters from Lord Wimborne's agents, Robin Noscoe (Head of Art who would approach John Piper), the vicar (Unwin) and HM (Wallace). The cost (c£800) stopped the project happening.

Correspondence re the wording of the memorial on the organ (copy of proposed memorial included). Writers include the HM (Hardie), his predecessor (Canning), the Phipps Walker family (who had paid for the organ casing), the parish and the diocese.
