The Christmas lights were installed by a working party from the ‘Friends’ over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd December.
The new flagpole was utilised to enhance the display as shown in the picture of the lights from the north side of the Tower with light clusters in the stairway and bell chamber windows.
Many people commented favourably on the decorations this year as being ‘the best they had seen’.
Unfortunately there were several storms during December and early January but the light displays endured until the most severe blow on the 4th January that damaged several of the bulb holders and tripped the circuit breakers just two days before decorations planned removal on the 6th January, that day being the official ‘12th day of Christmas’.
