g chosen to represent his life of
self-denying labour. There are four lights with eight subjects taken
from St. Matthew's Gospel, arranged in two tiers, as follows--(1) "Come
ye blessed of my Father;" (2) "I was an hungred and ye gave me meat;" (3)
"I was thirsty and ye gave me drink;" (4) "I was a stranger, and ye took
me in;" (5) "Naked, and ye clothed me;" (6) "I was sick, and ye visited
me;" (7) "I was in prison, and ye came unto me;" (8) "These shall go into
life eternal." There are eight compartments in the upper tracery,
containing the emblems of the four evangelists, and two angels, and the
Alpha and Omega.
In the north chancel wall are a Priest's door, two five-light windows,
and one of three lights, with, at the east end, a two-light window, all
modern. Here, externally, the parapet of St. Catherine's Chantry is
embattled and enriched with panel work, and rises above the level of the
rest of the wall. The clerestory of the chancel has six three-light
windows on the south side, and five on the north. The easternmost on the
north was inserted and made larger than the others in 1861, and, at a
later date, was filled with good coloured glass by Heaton, Butler &
Bayne, as a public memorial "To the glory of God, and in memory of
Barnard James Boulton, M.D., who died March 15 1875." He was an active
member of the restoration committee in 1861. The subjects are, in the
western light, "The cleansing of the leper" in the centre, "Letting down
the paralytic through the roof," in the eastern light, "The healing of
blind Bartimaeus."
In the nave the second window from the west end of the south clerestory
is a memorial of the late Mr. W Rayson, builder, filled with good
coloured glass. In the south aisle of the nave, the easternmost window
is a good specimen of coloured glass by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, erected
by public subscription in January, 1901, "To the glory of God, and in
grateful commemoration of the 18 years' ministry of Canon E. F.
Quarrington," who resigned the Vicarage in 1900. The cost of this window
was about 80 pounds , the subject is "The Sermon on the Mount." The
Saviour is represented as addressing the people, grouped around Him, of
all classes, soldiers, Pharisees, disciples, travellers, young men,
women, and children, with the city in the background. In the tracery
above are angels, with rich ruby wings, in attitudes of adoration.
