“Stoke has two extraordinary windows. One is located in the south aisle and commemorates a child Howard Vyse and has two lights, one showing the child slipping from the arms of its mother and the other it being received by an angel. The eerie figures rise into a night sky above a shoreline and a broken column. I have seen nothing like it.”
