This four-light stained-glass window, at All Saints Stamford, dated 1931 and signed by Archibald Keightley Nicholson, depicts the Four Evangelists accompanied by their traditional symbols and narrative predella scenes.

From left to right:

• Saint Matthew ⓘ, holding a book, with the winged man (or angel) above him.

• Saint Mark, holding a book and key, with the winged lion above.

• Saint Luke ⓘ, bearing the Gospel, surmounted by the winged ox.

• Saint John ⓘ, youthful and contemplative, with the eagle above.

Above the tracery is a descending dove of the Holy Spirit, flanked by Alpha and Omega motifs, reinforcing the Christological focus of the programme.

The circular predella panels beneath each Evangelist present key moments in the life of Christ:

1. The Nativity

2. The Baptism of Christ

3. The Crucifixion

4. Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene ⓘ outside the tomb (“Noli me tangere”)

The sequence moves from Incarnation through Sacrifice to Resurrection, visually affirming the Gospel message proclaimed by the Evangelists above.

The figures are tall and composed beneath simplified Gothic canopies, set against pale quarry backgrounds. The strong colour contrasts and controlled drawing typify Nicholson’s interwar Neo-Gothic style. The integration of symbol, text, and narrative is characteristic of his disciplined theological approach to ecclesiastical glass.
