    History

    Research

    Donation des quatres vitraux représentant les évangélistes en mémoire de Helen Mary Fairfax Hampton, Noel Hampton, Madeleine Fairey et Mary Ann Lynham. Au début des années 1980, le bas du vitrail a été cassé par un malfrat. Les dessins originaux étant perdus, Jacques Wasem l’a réparé de mémoire. En 1985, le bas du vitrail est à nouveau malmené par des vandales et restauré sur la base de photographies par G. Lacraz.
