Introduction :

Formed in 1932, the Old Ilminsterians Association continues to meet annually, opportuning the company of other Old Boys and acknowledging the entity which contributed so much to their formative years - Ilminster Grammar School !

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Association, and the four hundred and thirty year connection of the School with the Minster, the Association funded the design and fitting of the Stained Glass Window in St.Mary's Church.

This was done through the setting up the OLD ILMINSTERIANS CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION - primarily to enhance donations with regards the Window and it's two ongoing objectives :
- The promotion of Education, including social and physical training of pupils from Schools in the South Somerset Area.
- The Renewal Upkeep and Repair of the West Window of the Lady Chapel of St Mary's Church Ilminster.
