This
well designed four light window, filled with richly coloured
glass has, as its principal theme, the devotion of a daughter
to her mother. This is represented by the two central figures
of Ruth and Naomi flanked on either side by David and Samuel.
The text “Intreat me not to leave thee,” appears
across a scroll across the base of the centre lights and
strikes the keynote of the whole window.
The figures of Ruth and Naomi were specially designed for
the window by Mr. H. Dearle. The open foliage treatment
makes an excellent background to the figure work and the
colour scheme is particularly beautiful.
In the tracery opening at the top of the window are shown
corn and roses. Corn refers to Ruth’s gleaning and
roses are the symbol of love.
This window was executed by Messrs. Morris & Co. The
dedication inscription reads: “To the Glory of
God and in faithful remembrance of Emma Pipe Cooke. A good,
loving mother. This window was erected by Annie Cooke, her
daughter, A.D. 1925.”
