 Basford
St Augustine
Glass
The stained glass of the east window was designed by Alexander Gascoyne in
1911 (Pevsner). Its cost was borne by many generous donations, including those
from the Sunday School pupils. There were five lights, each with an inscription
at the base:
 Given by the Congregation
Oct. 14th 1911.
The gift of Ada
Alice Shipstone.
Given by Elizabeth
Furmidge.
In memory of Thomas
A. Newball and his grandsons, John N. and Thomas F. Murden.
In memory of Thomas
and Betsy Jane Mason, the gift of Benjamin Deaville.
From left to right there were representations of St Augustine, St Aidan,
the Crucifixion, St Chad and St Hugh of Lincoln with the swan.
 The
west window commemorated the introduction of Christianity into England by St Augustine,
showing his landing and reception in the Isle of Thanet in 597AD. It was the
gift of James Henry Shipstone and Gertrude, his wife in 1936. Six lights designed
by Gustave Hiller of Liverpool.
Three memorial windows in the Lady Chapel, with illustrations from ‘The
Pilgrim’s Progress’:
