e window, by the same artist; subject, the Good
Samaritan: given by John Muriel, Esq.
The northern window was executed by the Rev. A. Moore; the
subject taken from the parable of the Prodigal Son.
At the north end of the Transept is a small colonnade, the arches of
which are irregular, those opposite the lower windows being higher
than the others to allow free passage to the light. At the north-east
corner is a doorway communicating with a staircase leading to the
upper parts of the church. In the year 1699 the fall of a portion of
the north-west corner took place, but it was so well rebuilt as not to
be discernable in the interior. The windows in the triforium on the
east side are original; those of the triforium on the west side, and
the upper ones at the north end, are Perpendicular insertions; the
rest are all in their original form, or have been restored to it;
those in the north end have been filled with stained glass:
The two lower, and the western window of the second tier, by
Mr. Wailes, at the cost of the late Canon E.B. Sparke.
The eastern window of the second tier, by the Rev. A. Moore.
The subjects of these four windows are incidents in the
history of St. Paul.
The windows in the upper tier--by Messrs. Ward and
Hughes--also at the cost of the late Canon E.B. Sparke,
contain figures of eminent persons in New Testament history,
with arms, &c. in the tracery. Those in the western window
represent Silas; Clement, bishop; Apollos; Judas Barsabas;
Dionysius, areopagite; and Philip, deacon: in the eastern
window, Titus, bishop; St. Paul; Timothy; St. Mark; St.
Barnabas; and St. Luke.
The eastern aisle is divided by walls behind the columns into
compartments; the northern one forms a communication with the entrance
to the Lady Chapel; the middle one a vestry for the Grammar Scholars;
and the third a vestry for the Lay-Clerks; remains of fresco paintings
may be seen on the walls of both these compartments.
The stained glass window in the middle compartment contains
subjects from the history of our Saviour; executed by
Messrs. Clayton and Bell: presented by--Heywood, Esq., as a
memorial to his mother.
The window in the third compartment, by the same artists,
represents the Entombment and the Ascension, and is the gift
of C.L. Higgins, Esq., of Turvey Abbey.
