King David and King Solomon: 1904.





Posted 21 February 2023

A simple two-light window without tracery depicts King David and King Solomon, each standing before richly embroidered drapes held by demi-angels. Each holds their symbols; a lyre and a model of the temple. The window was installed in April 1904.1

the dedication reads:

To the Glory of God and in memory of Samuel Westwood Squier, many years a
resident and Churchwarden of this Parish. Born July 19th 1898, Died June 13th 1903.

In addition to this window, Percy Bacon and Brothers executed the organ case installed in 1903. The organ's case and framework were designed F. D. Caröe, M.A., Architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.2

The window is unsigned.
