1902

Two-light window with standing figures of angels, one cradling an infant and the other with a child standing alongside.

size: 45 cm (width of each light)
artist: Henry Holiday

Church of St Matthew, Buckley, Flintshire
west window of baptistry

Text: 'C.G. Matri. Filia A.W.' Given in memory of Catherine Gladstone (1812-1900), dedicated in 1902 by her daughter Alice Wickham.

The standing child bears a palm frond, normally the symbol of martyrdom. The second angel carries a babe in arms. The reference would seem to be to the Holy Guardian Angels.
