The Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul

here are two very different kinds of stained glass along the walls of the nave. The upper or clerestory windows are the work of Lawrence Lee, A.R.C.A., and were installed in the 1960s. The five on the left depict events in the life of Our Lord: the Nativity in a symbolic Canadian setting; the Baptism by St. John; the Calling of St.Andrew; Blessing the Children; and the Passion. The five on the right depict events in the history of the Church: the Resurrection; the calling of St. Paul; St. Paul's Mission to Macedonia; St. Columba of Iona; and The Church Triumphant. The window depicting the Calling of St.Andrew, the first of the clerestories to be installed, was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on the occasion of an earlier visit, on Sunday, June 10, 1962. The lower tier windows are memorials, most of them carefully removed from the former St. Paul's Church and re-installed here. Of particular interest are the two Allan windows, the work of the famed William Morris Co. to a design by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, the Pre-Raphaelite artist.

here is the glorious St. Paul window above the gallery, installed first in St. Paul's Church in 1900 by the Edinburgh firm of Ballantyne and Son. It contains five New Testament figures: Barnabas, Timothy, Paul, Silas and Luke.
