All Saints, North Street - Acts of Mercy Window
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 13 May 2023
One of ten medieval stained glass windows in this church, restored in recent years with National Lottery funding. The 'Acts of Mercy' was a common theme in church art, and depicts people doing the things that Jesus said would assure salvation - giving clothing, food and drink to those in need, welcoming strangers, visiting the sick and those in prison; and a seventh act of mercy from medieval theology, burying the dead. This example dates from c.1410 and is a memorial to Nicholas Blackburn.
