Two weeks ago I showed you the
South Window of St Thomas the Apostle.
Like the other windows, the designs all belong to
William Morris.
This figure of
St Thomas first appeared in 1874 in Calcutta Cathedral where it faces left. Here it faces right.
The figure of
St Hilda was originally used at Paisley Abbey in 1876 to represent
Salome. Only in Hyde has it been modified by the addition of a pastoral staff.

Very nice stained glass windows in the church.
very very pretty
Absolutely stunning! The detail on John's robe and cloak is fantastic!
Can I claim that's me up there? But I'm no Salome, I think. ;D
They are lovely. I do like the pre-Raphaelites, so was glad to see some of William Morris' handiwork.
Beautiful & very appropriate for All Souls Day.
