West Window - Warmington, Warwickshire

This west window depicts Christ welcoming children and the Baptism of Christ, subjects closely associated with initiation into the Christian life and well suited to a west-end position within the church.

Left-hand light:
Christ is shown receiving children, accompanied by the inscription “Suffer the little children to come unto me” (Mark 10:14). The scene emphasises inclusion, blessing, and the openness of the Christian community.

Right-hand light:
The Baptism of Christ is depicted with Christ standing in the Jordan, attended by John the Baptist . The accompanying text, “In thee I am well pleased”, expresses divine affirmation and marks the beginning of Christ’s public ministry.

The window’s architectural canopies, figural style, and palette closely match the Clayton & Bell windows elsewhere in the church, suggesting that it forms part of the same extended glazing scheme. In the absence of a documented date, a late nineteenth-century attribution is appropriate, aligning both stylistically and iconographically with the firm’s mature High Victorian work.
