Yes, there were two windows that were "Talent" windows.

The earliest is one of the lights in the Ray Window (still in current church) with its sister light having the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.

The second was Mayfield's, we have a copy of the insription but the few photos we have are very grainy and were only indirectly showing the window. The parish magazines usually went into quite a bit of a descripton of the windows, but all the oldest ones I've located so far don't go further than 1909... think everyone chose the same year to have there copies bound

Interestingly I've found evidence of a window that seems to have been removed way before the rebuild, even the oldest people in the church don't recognise its description, and its not in the historical handbook so it must have been removed before the 1950s at least.
