Window in memory of John Wilkinson and Grace, his wife

The window was made by Powell Brothers of Leeds and dedicated in 1888. Charles and Albert Powell founded a stained glass studio in Park Square, Leeds in 1872. Although best known for their stained glass they undertook other decorative works throughout a church, such as murals. (Buxton Advertiser) Among other works, they made the Bellringers’ Window in All Saints Church, Ilkley, the east window at St Stephen’s, Steeton and the east window in St John the Evangelist, Baildon (1870). They also did the memorial window to the 33rd (Duke of Wellington’s) Regiment in Halifax Parish Church (1881).

Above Gallery: windows are of clear rectangular glass

Below Gallery: Upper lights:
Left Scene: The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, (Luke 5:4-8)
Centre Scene: Stilling the Storm (Luke 8:23-25)
Right Scene: The Raising of Lazarus (John 11: 43-44)

Below Gallery: Lower lights:

The complete scene across three lights showing Jesus and his disciples. (To judge by Christ’s posture – one hand as a sign of peace/blessing, the other being shown – I would guess that this depicts Christ appearing to Thomas – the one kneeling; John 20:26-29. In the gospel, this takes place indoors, but the scene here is clearly outside.)

The window is dedicated to John Wilkinson and Grace, his wife by their daughter in 1888.
