GIFT TO ARCTIC CATHEDRAL

13th CENTURY GLASS SALISBURY, March 1. A quantity of the 13th-century stained glass recovered by the Rev. Dr. Stanley Baker, of Salisbury, from a ditch on the city outskirts," will find a home in the new All Saints’ Church Canada, which lies 120 miles north of at Aklavik, North-West Territory, the Arctic Circle. In two years, the Church will be consecrated and made the Cathedral of the Diocese of the Arctic. It will be the most northerly cathedral in the world. The glass is to be worked into two windows, which will flank a memorial window to King George V. in the baptistry.

In a letter which the Bishop of the Arctic, Dr. Archibald Lang Fleming, wrote to Dr. Baker asking for his help, .he said:

t “The Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, have most generously donated a double panel of old oak put into the Cathedral by Wren and removed recently on account of alterations. We also have other old oak panelling dating from 1545 to 1570”.
