The Primrose Trust has given a grant to assist in the conservation of a very\u00a0important window in Agher Church, Co Meath.
\nThe painted enamel window by Thomas Jervais (d. 1799) in Agher Church was executed in 1770 and depicts St Paul Preaching to the Athenians, based on the painting by Raphael. It was commissioned by the Wellesley family and was formerly in the private chapel of nearby Dangan Castle, childhood home of the Duke of Wellington. Following a fire in 1809 which devastated the house, the window was relocated to the East window of Agher parish church.<\/p>\n
