Chancel & Baptistery Windows

1. Three heralds, designed by Charles Jay Connick based on a design of Charles Kempe and Francis R. Allen, were given in 1936 in memory of “vestryman” George Hawley by his widow Annie (Anule Amelia Andros) Hawley. The banners read, Nomen tuum laudamus [we praise your name] and et hymnum gloriae tuae canimus [and sing a hymn of your glory]. The left-most window was broken by firefighters in 2000.

In 2024 the left-most herald, which had been broken by firefighters in 2000, was replaced with a bespeckled, bearded herald bearing the original banner, Cum angelis et archangelis.

2. Five lancets (pictured in the banner at top of this page), designed by Connick, depict (left to right):  Archangel Raphael, Archangel Michael, a red-winged seraph, Archangel Gabriel, and Archangel Uriel.  They were given by Annie Hawley in 1936.
3. Three windows of an archangel flanked by two heralds, designed by Charles Kempe, were given in 1902 in memory of Anna Saltonstall Merrill Ward (Mrs. Henry Veazy Ward, 1828-1901) by her children:  Marian DeCourcy, Anna Saltonstall, Caroline E., and Robert DeCourcy Ward.  The banners quote the Te DeumSanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth; pleni sunt coeli et terra maiestatis gloriae tuae [Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth of full of the majesty of your glory].

4. A set of three lancets of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was designed by Charles Eamer Kempe. The window begins a band of Old Testament figures that runs along the nave’s south clerestory. In 1902, Cornelia A. French gave them in memory of her father, Jonathan French (1803-1901).
