Garforth St Mary: east window
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 22 Jan 2022
The window has three narrow lancets, the middle one including an image of St Mary with the infant Jesus. The wording at the bottom is "These three windows the work and gift of Mary Isabella and Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne Anno Domini MDCCCXLV" (1845, contemporary with the building of the church). The Gascoignes of Parlington Hall ('Oliver' being added when Richard Oliver of County Limerick married into the family after the male line of descent perished) were the landowners of Garforth, and the sisters endowed the rebuilt church.
