Memorial window, by CE Kempe, dedicated to Reverend Thomas Farebrother (d1896), Mary Anne Farebrother (d1884), and George Farebrother (d1892).
This finely carved coffin lid features a long-stemmed cross whose arms terminate in deeply incised, curling foliage, a design symbolising both the Cross of Christ and the Tree of Life. The leafy ornament, known as a foliated cross, became popular in the 13th century and is often associated with clerical burials or those of prominent parishioners.
