Summary

[edit]
Description

Stained glass in Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, North Yorkshire, England. Church completed in 1880, by architect William Swinden Barber.

This is the right-hand light (Showing Martha) of the two-light window in the north aisle which represents Mary and Martha of Bethany, mentioned in Luke 38-42. In that story, Mary is interested in spiritual matters, whereas Martha prefers to do practical work. Thus Martha has a housekeeper's attributes of a spinning wheel and a purse at her waist, while Mary is praying and reading the Scriptures. Its brass strip-plaque says: "In Memory of Ann Mitchell died December 15th 1916 aged 59 years." Ann Mitchell was the village postmistress.
