This multi-light stained glass window, dated 1863 and designed by William Wailes, presents a richly structured typological meditation on sacrifice, suffering, and redemption, characteristic of mid-Victorian Anglican theology and narrative glass.

Upper register (New Testament)

The principal upper sequence depicts the central events of Christ’s Passion and glorification:

• The Agony in the Garden

• Christ carrying the Cross

• The Crucifixion, occupying the dominant central position

• The Resurrection

This four-light window, at All Saints Stamford, dated 1897, was executed by C. E. Kempe & Co. and presents the patron saints of four major English cathedrals: Lincoln, Peterborough, Lichfield, and York.

Each saint stands beneath elaborate architectural canopies, with heraldic devices displayed below and cathedral associations indicated by inscriptions.

From left to right:

• St Hugh of Lincoln, bishop and reformer of the twelfth century, holding crozier and book.

• St Peter ⓘ (Peterborough Cathedral), bearing keys and pastoral insignia.

This monumental six-light west window, installed in 1888, was executed by Clayton & Bell ⓘ and commissioned by Edward Ingersoll Browne of Boston, Massachusetts, in memory of Charles Browne, descendant of the fifteenth-century Browne family of Stamford. It consciously recalls the Browne family’s late medieval patronage of the church.

The programme follows a hierarchical structure consistent with the hymn Te Deum laudamus, uniting angels, prophets, saints, and narrative scenes in a vertical theological progression.
