St Lawrence stained glass
replied on: 7/15/2006 7:42:44 PM Thanks for that.  Found the inscription that origionally went with the window in the H.D.L.H. Memorial inscriptions book. "Jane Cleland Burns, 2nd dau. of the first Baron Inverclyde of Castle Wemyss. Born 7th July 1865, fell asleep in Jesus 13th July 1909. 'Her courage and joyous spirit through much suffering and her ever ready sympathy left a noble example.' This window is placed here by her sister Mary Hay Corfield and her brother in law Claud Evelyn Lacy Corfield rector of this parish." The window shows St Lawrence with his gridiron, St Catherine with her wheel, St Elizabeth of Hungerey with her apron full of roses, St Andrew with his cross and St Martin in the process of cutting his cloak with his sword. Also in the window are Sts Andrew, James, Peter, Jude, Thomas and Edmund all looking upwards and holding palm branches representing their victory in their hands. Above the figures are two angels holding the inscription "These are they which have overcome great tribulations". The window was designed and made by Willis and Jones of London. Whilst later generations later called it "The Saint Lawrence Window" it was origionally refered to by Claud Corfield as "The matyrs window" |
