St Ann's Church, The Coronation Window

When St Ann’s Church was first constructed, the interior was extremely simple with plain glass windows. However many changes were made during the restoration of the church by Alfred Waterhouse between 1887 and 1889. These changes included the installation of stained glass windows in the reconstructed chancel and sanctuary. Six other windows in the nave had their glazing replaced at various times to commemorate royal and ecclesiastical; occasions; some of these were bespoke and others were adapted from other churches. The centre window on the south side of the nave depicts a figure representing Adam in the garden, with the Star of David above (used here as a symbol of ecumenical faith, not specifically Jewish). The inscription reads ‘To the Glory of God initiated by the lay helpers of this parish, dedicated at the Coronation of King Edward VII’ (1902).
