A WINDOW taken from the chapel of a former psychiatric hospital has found a new home in St Edmund's Parish Church, Sedgefield.

The window, from Winterton Hospital, will be re-dedicated by Fr John Caden at a service in the church next Wednesday at 7pm.

The window comes from the chapel used for worship in the closing years of the hospital. Fr Caden, the village's Roman Catholic priest, was closely associated with the hospital. He said the Friends of the Hospital provided the window to add atmosphere to the chapel.

The Rector of Sedgefield, the Rev Martin King, and the Methodist minister, the Rev John Williams, will be taking part in the service. Also present will be Sandy Taylor, of the Priority Service Trust, who is a former chief nursing officer at Winterton.
