2 Hodgkinson
Memorial Window
A window in an ogee-headed arch, depicting the resurrection over the words
(Job 19.25):
I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH
The memorial inscription on the window reads:
Left-hand Light:
ALSO OF RICHARD HODGKINSON OF MORTON
GRANGE WHO DIED APL 14 1793 AGED 51 AND
ELIZABETH HIS WIFE WHO DIED JANY 19 1824 |
Right-hand Light:

AND

 Inscription

These inscriptions are a little odd because the one that reads as though
it is added later (in that it begins “Also ...”) is in the left-hand
panel, and in addition it refers to people who died earlier than those commemorated
in the other. Has the window been reconstructed at some stage and another
inscription lost?
3 Huntriss Memorial Window

5Window with Priory Glass
A window with fragments of medieval, perhaps 13th Century, stained glass.
The subject is believed to be St Helena
and may well originate from Mattersey Priory (which was dedicated to St Helena).
This shows a head and several parts of what seem to be a robe.
Unfortunately vandals have damaged this in recent years.
