XII.—(EAST.)
Two uppermost panels in the tracery, “The raising of Lazarus from the tomb, and the Evangelists in the four lower ones. The four larger divisions of the window each contain two subjects, viz., the type and antitype. 1st, Moses with the tables of stone-
"These are the words which the Lord hath commanded that ye should observe them.'
Virgin and Child with Joseph and adoring angels kneeling—
"For the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
2nd, Moses striking the rock-
"And thou shalt strike the rock and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink."
Christ at the well with the Samaritan woman-
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst."
3rd, Passage of the Red Sea-
"Our fathers were under a cloud and all passed through the sea and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea."
Baptism of our Lord-
"For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ."
4th, Gathering of the Manna-
"Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead."
Christ sitting at supper with two of the disciples-
"I am the true bread which came down from heaven."
In this window, the work of Heaton & Butler, of London, there are not less than 54 heads.
Beneath on a brass is this inscription-
To the glory of God and in memory of William Spooner A.M. late Archdeacon of Coventry this memorial is raised by the Vicar, and Churchwardens of this parish, and private friends to perpetuate the memory of his many public and private virtues and to record the zeal he displayed in the restoration of this Church. He entered into eternal rest 1857."
This window was erected towards the end of 1860.
