From the photographer:
Personification of Charity & Mercy. Charity is rather unusually shown as male in this window, perhaps inspired by the Good Samaritan parable. Mercy is female and is shown clothing the poor.
Windows designed by Burne Jones and made by Morris & Co. of the pre-Raphaelite school, were installed in the then-Unitarian chapel of Manchester College, Oxford. A stunning ruby glass is used throughout and the designs are striking with beautiful faces.
