This four-light window of 1895, at All Saints Stamford, executed by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, depicts four Old Testament figures associated with leadership, praise, and faithful dedication: Joshua, Miriam, Samuel ⓘ, and Hannah.

From left to right:

• Joshua, warrior and successor of Moses, stands armed, bearing sword and shield, representing steadfast obedience and divine commission.

• Miriam, sister of Moses, holds a tambourine, recalling her song of triumph after the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 15).

• Samuel, prophet and judge of Israel, stands contemplatively with oil vessel at his feet, symbolising his role in anointing the kings of Israel.

• Hannah, mother of Samuel, appears in prayerful posture, recalling her vow and thanksgiving (1 Samuel 1–2).

The Latin inscriptions beneath each figure reinforce their scriptural identity, while the lower dedication commemorates the donors.

The architectural canopies, crowned with delicate tracery and fleur-de-lis motifs, typify the richly structured Gothic Revival idiom of Heaton, Butler & Bayne in the 1890s. The modelling of drapery, luminous colour palette, and carefully idealised faces are characteristic of the firm’s mature High Victorian and late nineteenth-century work.

The programme forms a theological sequence: from divine calling (Joshua), to praise (Miriam), to prophetic mediation (Samuel), to faithful maternal devotion (Hannah). Together they embody obedience, worship, vocation, and thanksgiving, virtues foundational to covenantal faith.
