This two-light window forms a companion piece to the adjacent memorial to Emily Bateman, and commemorates the ministry of the Revd Gregory Bateman himself. Together, the two windows present a paired memorial to domestic virtue and clerical vocation, unusually personal in tone for a late nineteenth-century parish church.

Left-hand light:
The scene shows the congregation being welcomed at the church door by the Revd Bateman, who stands in clerical dress greeting parishioners as they arrive. The setting is recognisably local, with the church tower and surrounding buildings rendered in careful architectural detail. The emphasis is on pastoral presence and accessibility, presenting the vicar not as a distant authority but as a familiar figure within village life.

Right-hand light:
The interior of the church is depicted during a service, with Bateman shown conducting worship from the chancel. The congregation fills the pews, men, women, and children rendered individually, creating a vivid snapshot of parish worship in the 1880s. The accompanying text reads:
“Your voices raise ye, Cherubim and Seraphim sing his praise”, reinforcing the idea of collective worship that unites earthly congregation and heavenly choir.

The window is particularly valuable as a record of social history, preserving contemporary details of clerical vesture, lay clothing, seating arrangements, and church interiors. Preedy’s careful attention to everyday detail reflects both his architectural training and his willingness to treat modern parish life as a worthy subject for memorial art.

In commemorating himself actively at work—welcoming parishioners and preaching—the Revd Bateman adopts an unusually direct form of self-memorialisation. Rather than abstract virtue or biblical type, the window presents lived ministry as its subject, offering a rare visual document of Victorian parish practice embedded within the devotional fabric of the church.
