St Matthew, one of the evangelists, is shown here writing the Gospel. This window marks a transitional style between painting of clear glass with coloured vitreous enamel paint and the use of coloured pot-metal glass, which is coloured throughout. The designer is unknown, but may have been Charles Henry Schwanfelder (1774–1837) who is known to have worked with Jacob Wright (active 1775–1814) of Leeds. The window continues into the 19th century the 18th-century technique of painting in enamel pigments on large rectangles of white glass. However, the green robe is made of pot metal glass, which is glass coloured throughout. The placing of the figure of the Evangelist St Matthew under an architectural canopy in the gothic style, shows the impact of the early Gothic Revival, which was to shape the development of stained glass in the following decades.
