NEW-LOOK CHURCH HAD MANY PEOPLE GASPING


Modern touch brings complete transformation at Trinity MAYOR PAYS HIS TRIBUTE


PEOPLE entering Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe, on Wednesday, gasped when they saw tile immense transformation which had taken


place. The newly re-constructed church has been a talking point for some time but an even


keener interest has been expressed since the workmen have finished. Most of the congregation on Wednesday were seeing the church lor the first time since


the alterations and there were many comments about the extremely modern interior. But although the subject is possibly a controversial one,


everyone who entered the church immediately found his or her eyes drawn to the large Cross on the chancel wall.


The Cross, which measured


13 feet by six feet, is of wood with a stainless steel inset and is intended to be the focal point of the church. The wall on which the Cross


hangs is of columbine plastic tiles. More than half of the nailery has been removed and two vestries have been con­ structed. Also eye-catching arc the win­


dows, which arc now full-length and have modern lined glass in them The church has been painted


In bright or very light colours and the choir stalls have been covered with vyanido to tone with the colour scheme of pearl grey walls w i th a ceiling of Canton blue and white.
