This window was erected in the memory of Flo & Frank Jones
Designed by R. Loates 1983
and dedicated by Right Reverend Philip Huggins on 29th November 2009 Bishop North/West Region
The design for this window was influenced by two factors.
1. The age of the Church suggested a traditional window.
2. Because the window was commissioned in 1983 this suggests a contemporary design.
R. Loates combined these two factors by using both ancient and modern techniques to create a traditional window, combined with a more modern background which would represent the passing of time within the Church.
Loate also tried to develop a penetrating look in the eyes of Christ to create the feeling of appealing to each of us personally.
The theme for the window was taken from the 23rd Psalm, but the symbolism extends far beyond this.
The blue rays radiating from behind the Cross symbolise God's creation of the Universe expressed by the Stars and Planets.
The golden rays express his warmth and concern extending through the Universe.
The circle behind the cross symbolises the Unity of Humanity.
The two small angels symbolise the resurrection.
The first dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit descending unto Jesus.
The second dove is the symbol of Purity and Peace.
The figure of Christ is appealing to all humanity to allow Him to Lead them.
The ministering Angel will assist us to follow Jesus.
The placid water scene gives the feeling of being beside still waters.
