Description
English: A window of St Paul's parish church, Morton, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. The Stoning of St Stephen, designed by Edward Burne-Jones in 1892.

Stephen kneels half-way up in the centre left, St Paul stands in the lower right corner, executioners pick up and throw stones completing a circle round the martyr; Angel with a crown reaches down from Heaven with martyrs palm in the top centre. Tracery, three quatrefoils: Top - Angel with scroll, Left Angel with harp, Right Angel with mandolin. Inscribed: "to the glory of God in memory of Samuel Sandars who died on the viith day of October mdccxxxix : also of Jane Sandars who died xviii day of May mdcccxlix and by whom the foundation stone of this church was laid in the xxvith day of June mdcccxlv. This glass is set here to replace two smaller windows removed from the nave on its being rebuilt in mdcccxci". The entries for this window in the BJ's a/c book are dated December 1891: "Two designs for windows - of SS Stephen & Paul - in which, stripping my mind of all that is human & pleasurable in imagination, & investing it with the ill fitting & dusty rags of Protestant temper, I completed to my own memory a monument of self-abnegation. £150.";

The entries for the window dated June 1892 name the glass painters as follows: Main lights by Bowman, tracery angels by Stokes, the wings drawn by Dearle. The window is by Campfield.
