“Three magnificent windows; the colour is brilliant in the afternoons of sunny summer days. Samuel Kidd, late of Farnworth, left £ 250 for a memorial window in memory of his wife Eliza who had been a Sunday School teacher for many years. The window was to depict “the woman with a pot of ointment” and lettered, “She hath done what she could." Archbishop Howson’s daughter was asked to submit a design but it was uncertain which window to allocate. A design was approved and the west end was allocated. Miss J. Howson and a Miss C. Townshend worked at a studio in Putney. All three lights were to be used and to be descriptive of the great part played by women in the Lord’s ministry. The centre light was to show Jesus Christ with Mary at his feet, worshipping him and making the declaration “Rabboni”. Underneath this scene were to have a picture of the three Marys discovering the Risen Lord at the Sepulchre. The other lights were to show the widow’s gift to the Temple treasury. We were to see the joy of Jesus in his face as he looked down at the widow. The Arms of the Diocese of Liverpool which depict shipping and the Liver bird are used as are the arms of the Province of York. Can you see an inscription “Thy word is truth”. There are two more inscriptions. On the left, “She hath done what she could”. On the right, “She cast in all that she had”. In the centre window is the Agnus Dei, a lamb carrying a pennant (the Lamb of God with the banner of Victory). John the Baptist, having baptised Jesus Christ said “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world”, The dedication reads “To the Glory of God and in loving Memory of Eliza Kidd, for many years a Sunday School teacher in this parish.
