Stained Glass Window
There are two stained glass windows at St. Francis' Church, Laurel Road, Dudley, commemorating the life of Duncan Edwards.
In addition, a booklet was produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Duncan's death which is available from the Church at £2.00 or by post at £2.50 from The Vicarage, 50 Laurel Road, Dudley DY1 3EZ
April 2008: - St Francis Church has now produced an up-dated booklet for the 50th anniversary of Duncan's death. It can be obtained from Mrs Anne Woodward, 8 Saxon Fields, Wolverhampton WV6 8SX (or via email). It costs £4.50 including postage per copy.
I receive quite a few emails from people asking if the church is still open for viewing the windows. In August 2008 I received an email from "Dave". He said...
I visited St Francis` Church 2nd August as planned and the church appeared to be closed BUT adjoining the church is the Church Hall which opens as a great little cafe at 9.30 weekdays. You are able to access the church direct from the hall. Turn to your left to see the Duncan Edwards windows, they are not large and at the bottom of a larger window, but well worth a visit.
The cafe serves tea, coffee, freshly made sandwiches etc. at very reasonable prices and as a bonus the lady on duty when we visited remembers going to Duncan`s funeral and her husband was in the same class and same school football team as Duncan.
