S11 and N8 West End Authors of the four gospels
In grateful memory of Arthur Craven Churchwarden of this church 1914-31. These windows are placed here by his friends.
In September 1931 Arthur Craven, Vicar's Warden since 1914, died in office. He had been a tireless worker for St Edmund's for many years and as a memorial to him the four "Apostle Windows" at the west end of the church were donated by his friends.
On the west wall in the lobby next to the north door and in the nave near the south porch door are small windows representing the writers of the four New Testament gospels, St Matthew, St Mark, St Luke and St John.
Window S11 The left hand light depicts Matthew, labelled vertically on the left and with his symbol of a man, winged.
The right hand light depicts Mark labelled vertically on the right and with his symbol of a lion, winged.
Window N8 The left hand light depicts Luke, labelled vertically on the left and with his symbol of an ox, winged.
The right hand light depicts John, labelled vertically on the right and with his symbol of an eagle.
