This four-light stained-glass window, dated 1935 and executed by A. K. Nicholson, depicts the four archangels — Saint Raphael, Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Uriel — each standing beneath high Gothic canopies and identified by traditional attributes and associated predella figures.

From left to right:

• Saint Raphael, the archangel of healing, holds a pilgrim’s staff and book. In the predella below stands Tobias, holding the fish whose organs were used to restore his father’s sight, with the faithful dog by his side, recalling the Book of Tobit association.

• Saint Michael, the warrior archangel, is depicted with sword and shield. Beneath him lies a defeated dragon, referencing the apocalyptic imagery of Revelation and Michael’s role as defender against evil.

• Saint Gabriel, messenger of the Incarnation, gestures in blessing and carries a lily or sceptre. Below him is Zacharias, whom Gabriel visited according to Luke’s Gospel, linking annunciation to both the birth of John the Baptist ⓘ and, typologically, to Christ.

• Saint Uriel, associated with illumination and wisdom, holds a scroll inscribed “The Living God.” In the predella below is Ezra, to whom Uriel is said to have spoken in the apocryphal Book of 2 Esdras, reinforcing Uriel’s revelatory aspect.

Above the main figures the tracery incorporates star motifs and decorative glazed forms that enhance the celestial theme. The luminous colour palette and disciplined figure drawing are characteristic of Nicholson’s work in the 1930s.

The window unites canonical and apocryphal angelology and presents the archangels as mediators of healing, protection, annunciation, and revelation, each paired with the human figure most closely associated with their scriptural or traditional role.
