St Mary the Virgin and All Saints, Potters Bar

Thomas Aquinas and St Barbara, whilst that to the right, St Clare and St Bonaventure. The three-light north window is grisaille, but the middle one is in memory of Robert Goodache, a much loved schoolmaster, and depicts an imaginary portrayal of Our Lady as a child in an act of self-dedication in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Two of the four lights in the first bay of the north aisle have stained glass. That on the left showing Archbishop Randall Davidson is in memory of Joseph Parsons, first Secretary to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and Churchwarden from 1927 to 1930. The other depicts Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London and is a memorial to Fr Andrew Bowing Crispin Robinson, Vicar from 1922 to 1956, whilst below the window is a glass case containing the hood of a cope which was worn by Fr Robinson.

One of the four lights in the next window is of stained glass made in 1933 to celebrate the centenary of John Keble’s Assize Ser

mon at Oxford that began ‘the revival of the Catholic faith and practice in the Church of England’. Beneath this window is displayed an original letter written by John Keble in 1864, two years before his death, to a Mr Gray.

The high window on the south side of the Church over the Pietà portrays the four gospel writers of the New Testament, with relevant symbols. Lower down are shown the chief Apostles and first Disciples of Christ.
