Over western door—coloured Geometric glass.

The five compartments are occupied by subjects from the Old and New Testaments, illustrative of the women of the Bible, viz., the death of Abraham's wife, Sarah, Elkanah visiting Samuel in the Temple, Naomi and Ruth, Elizabeth and S. John Baptist, and the presentation of Christ in the Temple by His mother. The tracery is filled with conventual foliage and figures of the prophets Hosea, Isaiah, Daniel, Malachi, Amos, Ezekiel, Micah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Obadiah, surmounted by the head of our Saviour. On a brass beneath is recorded—

""This window is erected to the glory of God, and in memory of the late Mrs. Ann Tatlock of this city who died on the 19th of May 1876 in the hundredth year of her age.""

The window is the work of Messrs. Hardman, of Birmingham, and was erected October, 1877.

She was buried in the church near to the South Chancel door, as recorded on a flat stone. At the present this is the last interment in the church.

Two small windows over the North porch, the subject taken from the “Te Deum," is four angels bearing scrolls-

""We praise Thee, O God, We acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, The Father everlasting.""

On a marble tablet between the windows is inscribed-

""To the honour and glory of Almighty God and in memory of Elizabeth wife of Henry Masters of this City who died Nov. 22 1859.""

Mr. Henry Masters, a draper of this City, was Churchwarden 1860
