| In
the nave is a window designed to show to sides of the Christian character,
Faith and Charity, as suggested by the figures of the Virgin Mary
and Dorcas (an early pious Christian woman who was raised from the
dead by Saint Peter and noted for her good works; she is sometimes
called Tabitha). The upper portion displays Christ and again the Virgin
Mary with the infant Jesus. The inscription reads: In as much as
you have done it with one of the least of these my brethren, you have
done it with me. The window was designed by Henry Holiday of London,
after a design by Edward Burne-Jones, a Pre-Raphaelite painter and
close associate of William Morris. |
