Explanatory plaques alongside the Mayo window. The Mayo window was designed by Francis H. Spear and donated by the two sons of Dr William Worrell Mayo in memory of their father. It was dedicated by the Bishop of Manchester, Dr Guy Warman, on 25th July 1929 in the presence of the donors and their sister Mrs. Berkwell. Among the large congregation were the president and the members of the British Medical Association which was holding its annual conference in Manchester at the time. Dr Mayo was baptised in Eccles in 1819 and died in Rochester, Minnesota in 1911. He and his two sons, William James (1861-1939) and Charles Horace (1865 - 1939) organised the world's first "integrated group practice" which, in 1909, became known as the Mayo Clinic.
