East Window of the South Aisle
This is a fourteenth century window. This glass was given by Annie Cole in memory of her sister, Jane Elizabeth Cole. The window is the work of William Glasby of Kensington.
William Glasby (1863 - 1941) was an ecclesiastical artist. His work is very much in the style of Artist William Morris and is sometimes confused with it. Glasby exhibited designs for stained glass in the Royal Academy on several occasions during the first quarter of this century. He spent his whole career in London but moved to Horshan 3 years before his death in 1941 at the age of 77.
The window depicts St Mary the Virgin and the Angel Gabriel in a somewhat Pre-Raphaelite style. Underneath Mary is the text "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord". Underneath Gabriel is the message "Blessed art thou among women".
