PRESENTATION—On Easter Day a cross and vases were presented to the church of St. Peter's, in this parish, by the children of the Rector and Miss Taylor. The cross, of wrought brass, a Calvary, very good and suitable to this little church, was the gift of Miss Taylor. The vases, also of brass, and fitted with frames, and present a very handsome appearance, when filled with flowers in designs. It is hoped further to enhance the value of these presentations by the erection of a reredos, which is especially required to show to the beauty of the cross.

Altar Gift to Newton Church - Mrs Cooper’s Work in memory of Children

A beautiful violet altar frontal, for use during Lent and Advent, has been made by Mrs Ada Cooper, of the Court Estate, and presented by her to Newton Bromshold Church.

This handsome gift was dedicated by the Vicar, the Rev W R Taylor, at the Holy Communion service on Sunday morning recently.

This gift has been made by Mrs Cooper in memory of her son and daughter who died within three weeks of each other during the War. Mr John Robert Cooper was wounded and died in a military hospital in France in November 1918, and Miss Catherine Mary Cooper succumbed to pneumonia following war work at Luton.
