Cowper & Newton window in SS Peter & Paul's Church
Cowper & Newton window in SS Peter & Paul's Church
This window at the east end of the north aisle was installed in the late 1940s as a thanksgiving for the safe return of war veterans. The glazier was George Cooper Abbs, who depicts John Newton (lower left, between shackled and liberated slaves), William Cowper with his three pet hares at lower right, and the church musician Henry John Gauntlett in prayer. The parish's patron saints, Peter with his keys and Paul with the sword of his martyrdom, stand above the Olney hymnographers, with the church between them, surmounted by Christ in majesty holding orb and sceptre.
