Stained Glass of Percy Bacon & Brothers
Posted 22 October 2024.
The windows in the north aisle are also single, small lancets which contain representations of saints. The first of these to be installed was in 1894 (St Anne), not long after the east lancets and the four evangelists at the west end.1 There are no confirmed dates for the other windows.The windows are dedicated as follows:
| NA5: St Edward the Confessor. | "To the Glory of God and in memory of Edward Binnett Kitson. R.I.P." |
|
| NA4: St Edmund the Martyr. | "To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Edmund Lionel Barren Spence. R.I.P.". | |
| NA3: St Peter. | "To the Glory of God and in loving memory of George Francis Trollope. R.I.P." | |
| NA2: St Joseph. | "To the Glory of God and as a thank offering". | |
| NA1: St Anne.. | "To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Henrietta Fraser Owen. R.I.P." |
.Non of the windows are signed.
Placed in elaborate architectonic niches whose canopies soar to the heads of each lancet are the following scenes:
Left Light: Resurrection of Christ from the tomb while the Roman soldiers sleep.
Centre Bottom: The descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Centre Top: Ascension of Christ.
Right Light: Christ in Majesty.
The colours in this window are muted, and there is a liberal use of white glass, lightly stained with silver nitrate to allow as much light as possible into the church.
The design of this window echoes its neighbour, and was likely installed at the same time as a pair. The following scenes are represented:
Left Light: Annunciation to the Virgin.
Centre Bottom: Presentation in the Temple.
Centre Top: Nativity.
Right Light: Christ with the Doctors in the Temple.
Like the adjacent window, the colours here are muted, and again there is a liberal use of white glass, lightly stained with silver nitrate to allow as much light as possible into the church.
None of the windows are signed.
