Single-light window with a group of figures standing outside of a building. A woman carrying a child stands at the centre of the group with two further women and children, while a man carrying a staff stands to the left.


firm/studio: William Morris & Co (Westminster)

Church of St Nicholas, Montgomery, Powys
north transept

Given in memory of Margaret Bryan (d. 1921) of Montgomery by her cousin, William S. Bryan of Crungoed, Radnorshire.

The text below the scene reads 'Full of good works and almsdeeds' (Acts 9:36), referring to Dorcas (or Tabitha), although the image is resonant of the image of the good wife from Proverbs, and emphasises works of charity.
