Texts: 'Well done, good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy Lord' (Matthew 25:23); 'Thou art careful and troubled about many things but one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her' (Luke 10:41-2).
The window was given by Sir William T. Lewis in memory of his great grandfather, grandfather, and father of Abercanaid House, all of whom worshipped in the church. His arms are depicted in the lower left of the window. (ObjectID=4664 ImageID=8818) Original File Name=Merthyr_DSC6947A.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 15-04-2016
