St Andrew's Church, Corbridge - Colin Williams Design
St Andrew’s Corbridge commissioned a bespoke, contemporary altar designed by Colin Williams of CW Design, choir master of St Andrew’s; Treske worked with him to realize his concept.
The legs form a three-dimensional St Andrew’s cross and support a two metre oval top, all in European oak. The top is held off the legs by steel rods making the oval appear to float above them. All the steel work is finished in a chemically darkened bronze. Under one set of feet are nylon rollers so that the altar can be easily moved. To ensure that the table is level when returned to its central position, bronze pins have been set in the floor to mark where the wheels must go.
The altar was “a gift from the members of the Corbridge congregation of St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Hexham, as their contribution to the Millenium Re-Ordering of this ancient and beautiful church.”
With our many thanks for all your efforts to produce a wonderful addition to our church and to get it here for Easter. Tremendous!
