This stained glass window, designed by Henry Holiday and made by James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass) around 1891. It depicts Mary the Virgin and Mary the Mother of James, two women closely linked in the Gospels and in Christian tradition through their devotion, faith, and discipleship.

On the left, Mary the Virgin is shown as serene and youthful, holding a stem of white lilies, the traditional symbol of purity and divine favor. Her gentle expression and the luminous folds of her robe convey grace and quiet strength, embodying the sanctity of the Incarnation.

On the right, Mary the Mother of James, often identified with Mary of Clopas, is portrayed as older and more contemplative, richly dressed in patterned robes of gold and ivory. She appears thoughtful and resolute, representing steadfast faith and service among the early followers of Christ. Though the Gospels describe her son James as a “brother of Jesus,” traditional interpretation understands this relationship in broader familial terms: James is regarded as a kinsman or cousin of Jesus, not a child of the Virgin Mary herself.

The deep red background contrasts vividly with the pale garments, while the elaborate geometric canopies and decorative borders unify the composition with the Sarah and Hannah window. Holiday’s characteristic style—naturalistic faces, rhythmic drapery, and refined color harmony—imbues the work with both dignity and tenderness.
