Restoration of the stained glass windows at St Paul’s Church in Rangiaowhia are among six projects to get funding from Waipā District Council’s Heritage Fund.
The $20,000 is $40,000 shy of what is needed to restore the historic window which was removed in December by window conservator Izaac Randell.

The fund assists with the preservation and enhancement of the district’s unique environmental, cultural, and historical heritage.
The latest round of $68,701 was the first under new fund criteria which makes money available to community members or groups working to safeguard the district’s rich and diverse heritage.
