St Mary's, Bacup : May 2012
The Re-ordered Sanctuary
In May 2012 we started work constructing a new Altar and Ambo for St Mary's Catholic Church Bacup. The majority of the marble for both items will consist of the existing Altar rails
which we have now removed from the sanctuary. New Rosso Francia marble has be chosen for the new Mensa and parts of the Ambo. The Baptismal font is being re-sited and restored (several layers
of paint to be stripped) taking it back to it's original stone.
