Notes on Window:

From the evidence we can find: The glass was designed in the 1890s, by Ernest Penwarden (as Windows 12, 14, 15, 16). In 1930 the design was adapted by J Hodges, and the glass made by James Powell & Sons. It was in memory of Elizabeth Helen Woollerton, with her husband's name being added in 1936. More...

The window was damaged in 1980, and repaired with the omission of the canopies, etc, leaving just a figure in each light, together with a quotation underneath. The Woollerton's names were put on a single quarry, but with two spelling mistakes (Goodburn & Woollerton).
