North Aisle West; Christ Consoler, BVM & St Mary Magdalene, 1911



Posted 26 November 2022

Installed in 1911, this is a three-light window on the theme of Christ the Consoler. In the centre light stands Christ, and flanking him: In the left light, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the right, St Mary Madgalene. Above the three figures the words from Matthew 11:28 (KJV), somewhat jumbled; "Come unto Me [above Christ] all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". In the tracery a white dove, angels playing musical instruments and Alpha and Omega symbols.

The dedication reads:

RIP. To the Glory of God and in memory of Elizabeth Butcher. Who passed to her rest 20th February 1910".

The window is signed, "Percy Bacon Bros. 11 Newman Street, London. W".
