ALTAR CANDLES AT ST FRIDESWIDE’S
The congregation of St Frideswide’s Church is very grateful to Richard Brown who has used his considerable machining skills to prepare six candles for the altar for St Frideswide's Church. This involved carefully cutting out a cone shaped cavity in the base of the candles so that they can be placed on our altar candle sticks, which have spikes. This was done on a specially built rig on his lathe. Furthermore he has taken our 3 foot candles and is cutting them in half and preparing them for the altar. To find out how Richard got involved with preparing candles, see the story here
