This tomb of Canon John Gylby Lonsdale (1907) at Lichfield Cathedral was made by Farmer and Brindley.

The vast south transept window at Lichfield Cathedral is one of the most imposing works of High Victorian stained glass in the building. Installed between 1869 and 1873 as part of the 19th-century restoration campaign, it was designed and executed by the prolific Gothic Revival studio Clayton & Bell. Comprising nine tall lancets crowned by rich tiers of tracery lights, the window forms a complex yet coherent theological cycle centred on the Majesty of Christ and the ranks of heavenly and ecclesiastical witnesses.
Sculpted from white marble by Sir Frances Chantrey, this memorial is to the two daughters of Ellen-Jane Robinson, Ellen-Jane and Marianne.
This window contains two significant pre-Reformation figural panels depicting St Peter (left) and St Simeon with the Christ Child (right). Both figures survive from a larger late medieval glazing scheme and were reassembled during the 19th-century restoration of the cathedral, when much of the surrounding decorative work was replaced.
