and learned antiquary,
supplying the design. It is inscribed "To the glory of God, and in
memory of Frederick Harwood, formerly churchwarden, who died March 12,
1874, aged 51 years." Mr. Harwood was an indefatigable church worker,
and died suddenly, after attending a Lent service, when he occupied his
usual seat, near this window. It is of three lights, the subjects being
six, (1) the centre light illustrates "Charity;" a female figure above,
holding one child in her arms and leading others; while below is "Joseph
in Egypt, receiving his father, Jacob." (2) The west light illustrates
"Faith," a female above, holding a cross and bible, and below "Abraham
offering his son Isaac." (3) The east light illustrates "Hope," a female
above, leaning upon an anchor, and below "Daniel in the den of lions."
The grouping of the subjects and arrangement of the canopies are
admirable.

The west window in the same aisle contains a handsome memorial, by
Preedy, of the late Vicar, Prebendary Robert Giles. It is of three
lights, the subjects being from St. Peter's life: (1) the south light
shewing "The net cast into the sea," "Depart from me, &c."; (2) the
central light, Peter's commendation by the Saviour, "Thou art Peter,
&c."; and (3) the north light, Peter's release from prison, "Arise up
quickly, &c." The tabernacle and canopy work are good. The cost of this
was about 140 pounds. Mr. Giles succeeded Prebendary Milner, as Vicar,
and died 12 July, 1872.

The two lancet windows in the lower part of the west wall of the tower,
which were enlarged at the restoration, are filled with good coloured
glass. They bear no inscriptions but are memorials of deceased younger
members of the families of the late Dr. B. J. Boulton, and of the late
Mr. Richard Nicholson. The southern one represents "The Good Shepherd,"
carrying a lamb in his arms; the northern, "Suffer the little children to
come unto me," shewing the Saviour receiving little children into his
arms. Within the tower is also placed a List of Benefactors of the town;
also a frame containing the Decalogue, supported by two painted figures,
life-size, representing Aaron with his censer, and Moses with his rod; on
one side of this is the Lord's Prayer, on the other the Apostles' Creed.

The roof of the nave, for some years hidden by a flat whitewashed
ceiling, is of Spanish chestnut, with finely carved figures of angels,
which support the intermediate principals. In f
