Wycliffe Church’s ancient windows underwent refurbishment this year after becoming severely pitted over the years and were in danger of being permanently damaged.
The refurbishment began last July.
Now a day of celebration is planned for Sunday, July 2, to mark the completion of the work.
Church warden Keith Miller said expert restorer Jonathan Cooke, who completed the work, will be give a talk on the day.
He said: “Jonathan will be speaking about the craft of making stained glass, as well as the work he has done at Wycliffe.
“As might be expected of someone who has been called upon to work on French cathedrals as well as cathedrals, historic churches and National Trust properties in this country, Jonathan has an infectious enthusiasm and I guarantee that you will find his talk totally absorbing.”
The talk will be followed by tea, sandwiches and cake.
The celebration rounds off with a choral evensong, based on the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, conducted by the Rev Prof Jeff Astley.
Carillon will also be singing.
The event is free but donations are welcome. For more information contact Mr Miller on 01833 627540.
