This stained glass window, designed by Henry Holiday and made by James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass) in 1891, depicts Jacob and Moses, two patriarchs of the Old Testament whose lives embody revelation, covenant, and divine calling. Like Holiday’s other biblical pairs in Salisbury Cathedral, the window combines vivid narrative symbolism with refined artistic unity, transforming scriptural history into radiant glass and light.
