A very beautiful stained glass window has just been put in the Church by the family of the late Mr. Pemberton, formerly of Hampton. The subjects represented are Zacharias and Elizabeth, the father and mother of S. John the Baptist.

Zacharias holds in his hand a scroll containing the first words of the "Benedictus," (of which he was the author), "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel." Beneath the two chief figures are small groups representing the Meeting of the Virgin Mary and Elizabeth, and the Presentation of the Infant John the Baptist in the Temple. Above the two main lights an exquisitely executed Angel is depicted, announcing the Beatitude, "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." The whole is so delicately tinted that it scarcely interferes with the passage of the light, and it is a most pleasing addition to our Church. The work has been designed and carried out by Messrs. Shrigley & Hunt.

Another small window, which is being given by the Communicants' Association and others, was in its place by Easter. It is at the west end of the north aisle. The subject is the "Hiring of the labourers for the Vineyard." The work was done by Messrs. Arthur Moore & Co.
