W1 The great West Window behind the Font

W1To the glory of God and in loving memory of Jane Chadwick of Harrogate who entered into rest January 27 1911 Aged 77 years.

This window opening was the first to have the plain glass removed and replaced with stained glass.  It was installed in 1912 only three years after the completion of the Nave (Phase 1 of the church).  It was the gift of Mr J G Chadwick, JP, of Harrogate, offered to the Church Council in December 1911 to be in memory of his wife who had died the previous January. The window was designed by Victor Milner whose work was very much in the style of the Gothic Revival.

4 lights with tracery.

The window presents God blessing the little children.  Christ (in the third light) is shown with three disciples each holding a book; one in the second light and two in the fourth light (thought to be Peter, James and John being those closest to him, but not identifiable).

St Edmund’s crown with crossed arrows symbolising martyrdom, a crown of thorns on a cross, scourges representing the scourging of Christ and an orb and cross symbolising Christ’s dominion over the world are displayed in the predellae.     Designed and made by Victor Milner in 1912.  Cost unknown.
