Those of our readers who sent contributions to the fund for purchasing lamps for the restored church of Newton Bromswold, will be interested to know that they were put up the week before the village feast, which follows St. Peter's Day. They are from Messrs. Jones and Willis, of London and Birmingham, and are of ruby glass, with opaque white shades, set in ornamental brass work, and suspended by chains from the roof.
