Description: One of Arnold Robinson's windows in the Kingsdown area of Bristol, Robinson designed and installed four three-light windows, this a short while after the 1927 restoration and in the central light of these windows he depicts, in turn, John Bunyan, William Tindale, Archbishop Cranmer and Charles Wesley. The right and left hand lights of the four windows are either plain or hold some coloured glass. The window dedicated to Bunyan has John Bunyan in the centre light with a copy of “Pilgrim’s Progress” tucked under his arm. The window is inscribed “To the Glory of God & in loving memory of George Bradford Steers & Sarah Jane Steers.” Below Bunyan, Robinson painted a roundel with a scene from the “Pilgrim’s Progress”. The three-light window featuring William Tindale has Tindale carrying a copy of his famous Bible and in a roundel beneath he is depicted writing that Bible. The window is inscribed “In Loving Memory of Richard Dalton.” Another three-light window depicts Charles Wesley, who had lived in nearby St James’s which through growth and popularity led to the need for a new church in the adjacent new suburb of Kingsdown, that new Church being St Matthews, and in the roundel beneath he is shown writing at his desk. The inscription reads “In Loving Memory of Albert E.Hill.” Another three-light window depicts Archbishop Cranmer and in a roundel below we see Cranmer about to be burnt at the stake. The inscription reads “In loving memory of Catharine Hill”. The Hills and Dalton were long-serving Churchwardens of St Matthew’s.
