Sunday School Window.

This window used to be on the South West side, but with the rebuild had to be taken out as that part of the building needed demolition. It was decided that due to its width it would be better displayed in the clerestory section as it would create a balance with the other windows in the clerestory and would leave space in the new wall for the Gibbs window to be better displayed.

Thanks to Jennypeg for the following extract from the Heanor Observer :

26th June 1930 "Memorial to Canon Corfield - Window unveiled in Heanor Church. The memory of the late Canon Corfield who died in 1926 is still very fragrant in Heanor and district and it is a matter for satisfaction that the church at which he laboured as vicar for a quarter of a century now possesses an adequate memorial of one whose name will ever be associated with Heanor Church life.
The memorial takes the form of a beautiful stained glass window, above what is affectionately known as the children’s corner. It represents in three choicely coloured and artistic panels “One Fold and One Shepherd.” And is a very fine addition to the lovely stained glass windows for which the church is noted.
The inscription at the base of the window is as follows:
“In ever loving memory of Claude E. L. Corfield M.A. Hon Canon of Southwell, and afterwards Prebendary of Wells who was a faithful and zealous vicar from 1886 to 1911 and a devoted friend of little children erected by parishioners and friends Messrs W. Morris & Co were the artist. "
