This two-light window is a personal memorial commissioned by the Revd Gregory Bateman in memory of his wife Emily Bateman, and illustrates her remembered loves of music and gardening through paired symbolic scenes.

Left-hand light:
Emily Bateman is shown seated at the organ, actively engaged in music-making, with a lute placed on the ground beside her, reinforcing the theme of musical devotion. Above, a group of angel musicians play harp, zither, and lute. The accompanying inscription reads:
“My harp also is turned to mourning and my organ into the voice of them that weep” (Job 30:31), a text that unites music with grief and remembrance.

Right-hand light:
Mrs Bateman is depicted standing in her flower garden, holding blossoms amid a carefully rendered natural setting. Above her, angels attend, one bearing a blue-and-gold crown of flowers, a symbol of heavenly reward transfigured through earthly delight. The inscription reads:
“Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions harken to thy voice, cause me also to hear thee” (Song of Solomon 8:13), a text that gently evokes presence, voice, and communion.

Tracery light:
A quatrefoil ⓘ filled with flowers and birds crowns the composition, reinforcing the themes of creation, harmony, and renewal.

Each panel is enclosed within a floral border, visually unifying the scenes and echoing the garden imagery below. The window is characteristic of Preedy’s approach as an architect-maker: clear narrative structure, careful integration of text and image, and a restrained yet expressive palette. Its intimate iconography, drawn directly from the life of the commemorated individual, exemplifies the personal and devotional character of late nineteenth-century parish memorial glass.

Together, the two lights form a balanced meditation on memory, loss, and consolation, transforming personal virtues into enduring visual symbols within the fabric of the church.
