Past Events in the 1900s: A New Stained Glass Window - 1907 January
 |
"Another very
attractive stained glass window has been placed in the north side of
the Church. It has been erected by Mrs. Sale Hall, a former resident
in the parish, in memory of her late husband. The figures in the window
represent “Faith” and “ Hope.” |
| The former is most fittingly illustrated by a
female figure holding in one hand a cross and with the other clasping
a Bible to her bosom. “Hope” is represented by a shepherd
who has watched over his flock through the dark hours of the night
and is now relieved and gladdened by the sight of the bright morning
star which betokens dawn, and already in the distance the light
is seen breaking in the sky, clearly showing that “the night
is far spent, the day is at hand.” The colouring is soft and
bright and the general effect extremely pleasing. The window is
a very acceptable addition to the adornment of our Church, and will
not be without its suggestive thoughts for those who look upon it.
The window has been designed and fixed by Messrs. Heaton, Butler
and Bayne." |
