The Lucy Chapel
The altar in this chapel came from St Scholastica’s Priory in Atherstone and was presented to St Mary’s by the Prioress, Reverend Mother Flavia Bunce O.S.B. Upon the dissolution of the Priory in 1968.
The panels on the altar depict Christ’s Nativity; the centre panel shows the baby Jesus on Mary’s lap; the left hand panel shows the shepherds and the right hand panel the Wise Men bearing their gifts.
Hanging above the altar is a sanctuary lamp, also from the priory.
The fine stained glass window was installed in 1972 and depicts the Annunciation.
Buried beneath the altar are relics reputed to be some of the bones of St Lucy after whom the chapel is named.
