Window 6.  Christ healing the sick (c.1885)

At the base of the window across three lights: To the glory of God and in memory of Frances Mitchell who died October 17^th 1885.

Window 7.  Great West Window (Clayton & Bell 1893)

On a brass on wall under Great West window: To the Glory of God and in affectionate remembrance of the late Francis Goolden F.R.C.S. of the Wilderness, Maidenhead.  Churchwarden of this parish from the consecration of the church Aug: 23^rd 1866, until his death Feb: 15^th 1892.  The above window has been inserted and this wall decorated by his friends and relatives in the year of our Lord 1893.

Dr Goolden is said to have been a major donor in the building of the church and his profession may be why it was dedicated to St Luke who was a doctor.

Top: In the centre the Lamb of God holding a pennant. Below the Lamb and on each side roundels bear an angel with multicoloured wings holding a scroll with the words “Holy, Holy, Holy” The rest of the window above and below the transom is arranged into five lights.

Upper lights: Scenes from the New Testament: (i) The Annunciation; (ii) The Last Supper; (iii) The Crucifixion; (iv) The Resurrection; (v) The Descent of the Holy Spirit.

Lower lights: Scenes from the Old Testament: (i) Adam & Eve; (ii) Falling of Manna; (iii) Brazen Serpent; (iv) Jonah delivered from the Whale; (v) Moses & the giving of the Law.

Some of this window was put up before Goolden’s death in 1892. By Nov 1883 the centre light had been filled with painted glass by Messrs Clayton & Bell (The Brazen Serpent and the Crucifixion), the cost of the light being £74 10s (The Gospeller for S. Luke’s, Maidenhead, p 4). It seems the early glass may have been too thick/dark for in 1892 “Mr Bell of the well known firm of Clayton & Bell visited the church to inspect the west window and has promised to send a design for carrying out the work which will include a lightening* of the part already inserted and to complete the window following the original plan” (SLPM June 1892 no 18 p6). The Goolden Memorial Fund closed at £427. 10. 3 (SLPM Aug 1892 no 20 p6). Details of Goolden’s funeral in SLPM March 1892 p3. *other early glass in the chancel may also have been too thick, possibly why the chancel was re-ordered in 1952.

The fresco underneath the window was of the four evangelists (St Matthew, St Mark, St Luke and St John)

Window 8.  Christ teaching the people out of the ship (c.1888)

On a brass under the window: To the glory of God in memory of the Right Hon. Sir A.Cooper Key G.C.B. who fell asleep March 3^rd 1888 at Laggan House in this parish.  This window was inserted by some of his friends as a mark of their affection and esteem.  The memory of the just is blessed.  At the base of the window across the three lights: In memory of Admiral the Right Honorable Astley Cooper Key G.C.B. who died March 3^rd 1888.
