Safe and sound at St Mary's, Oswaldtwistle.
 

Well, what can I say Owd Bert? You are indeed a star! Thank you so much for the update!!! Here is the new home of the statues which belong to the War Memorial. They are to be "housed" in a glass enclosure of some sort.

I took the hint when I saw Atarah`s appeal for a photo -- however I hope the case is made of toughened glass.

They have taken the organ pipes out

How...
 

were they taken out? Ripped out & bunged in a skip or disassembled and placed on the back of a flat truck?

just come past st marys they have put the statue in a big box -like construction, no glass yet.

Hi Mick,

Do you know what happened to the round stonework surrounding the glass, per you picture around mid-day friday? Was ths ripped down or was any attempt made to "jacket" it and bring it down in one piece?

most of it is on the floor
but i have been told by one of the workmen that a lot of the stone is going up to
Cumbria for barn conversions.
