Holy Unction - detail
The Seven Sacrament windows were designed for the parish Church of S. Augustine Haggerston. Fr HA Wilson, the Vicar had previously installed a seried of 'East End life' windows by Miss Rope, these are now scattered. The seven sacrament windows were in sequence in lancet windows in a side aisle. Their position at S. Peter's is less sympathetic to the detailed work of Miss Rope than was the original.
The windows are a simple teaching of the catholic theology of the saraments. They represent Anglo-Catholicism at its zenith in both confidence and popular appeal.
