As part of the Church of England’s social media campaign #StainedGlassSummer we’d like you to visit us at All Hallows Church. The Church is open from 9am to 5pm most days and on Wednesdays we host a coffee morning from10am – noon.

The east window, above the altar, was paid for by a Mrs Holderness in February 1925 in memory of her husband. It is a three light window and is a truly beautiful representation of the crucifixion. The centre light is of the Saviour on the cross, with Mary Magdalene kneeling at the base of the cross. The light on the left-hand side of the window depicts the Virgin Mary, the Holy Mother, whilst that on the right shows the apostle St John.

The medallions and scroll work show the leaves and grapes of the vine.

In dedication, the inscription at the foot of the window reads “To the glory of God, and in

memory of the Reverend William Holderness, vicar of this parish from 1869 to 1884, Elizabeth Jane, his second wife, and Katherine Howard (Heathcote) and William Harold, their Children”.
