HRH and Sir Trefor in July 2000

 

             The Prince of Wales has been patron of the Trust  since its beginning, and His Royal Highness has most recently taken a keen and key interest in the design of the Jesse Window. The window has been designed by Helen Whittaker, a graduate and now visiting lecturer The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts, and will be dedicated later today as Phase 1 of the development of the Lewis Chapel into a more accessible place of worship, and to provide further facilities for learning and community use in conjunction with those in the Tithe Barn.
