2nd, Moses striking the rock-

Christ at the well with the Samaritan woman-

In this window, the work of Heaton & Butler, of London, there are not less than 54 heads.

Beneath on a brass is this inscription-

"To the glory of God and in memory of William Spooner A.M. late Archdeacon of Coventry this memorial is raised by the Vicar, and Churchwardens of this parish, and private friends to perpetuate the memory of his many public and private virtues and to record the zeal he displayed in the restoration of this Church. He entered into eternal rest 1857.""

This window was erected towards the end of 1860.
