This three-light window by Hardman & Co., dated 1884, presents a formal and hieratic depiction of the Crucifixion, flanked by the Virgin Mary ⓘ and St John the Evangelist ⓘ.

Central light:
Christ is shown crucified, his body elongated and centrally placed, emphasising sacrifice and redemption. The cross is set against a richly patterned ground, with flowing decorative motifs that frame the figure without overwhelming it. Above, angels attend the scene, reinforcing its cosmic and salvific significance.

Left-hand light:
The Virgin Mary stands in quiet grief, her gesture restrained and inward, conveying sorrow through stillness rather than dramatic movement. Floral motifs and angelic figures above her link human mourning with divine presence.

Right-hand light:
St John is depicted as the faithful witness, turned toward the Crucified Christ. His youthful appearance and attentive posture balance the Virgin’s sorrow, completing the traditional Johannine pairing at the foot of the Cross.

Across the window, angels appear at the head of each light, unifying the composition vertically and reinforcing the theological reading of the Crucifixion as both suffering and triumph. The firm linear drawing, disciplined colour palette, and dense ornamental framing are characteristic of Hardman’s mature High Victorian work, ensuring clarity and legibility within the architectural setting.

Installed in 1884, the window exemplifies Hardman & Co.’s continued adherence to a richly decorative yet controlled Gothic idiom, providing a solemn and devotional focal point within the church.
