| Material | glass |
| BriefDescription | “St Andrew’s Call” and “History of Christianity at Hexham”
The six large lights are divided into nine figure panels, set in a ground of quarries painted in grisaille and decorated with a foliated design of early English character. The decorative scheme consists of deep coloured pictures relieved upon a white ground to which they are united by the lines of varied greens and browns made by stems and foliage; with here and there a brilliant note of red made by clusters of berries.
The tone of colour selected is low and rich rather than bright. The figures are about life-size; a scale which is not by any means too large to suit the architectural scale of the Abbey Church.
The three upper lights are devoted to The Calling of St Andrew, the great Missionary Apostle, and the patron of a church itself the result of missionary enterprise.
The three lower lights have Christ as the prominent Figure and show three episodes in the history of Hexham Abbey. These scenes, illustrative of the progress of Christianity at Hexham, lead up to three large figures of Christ. |

| BriefDescription | On the left hand He is portrayed as “I am the Light of the World” [John 8:12]; below this is a group of Romans represented as taking part in heathen sacrifices at the temple of Jupiter. We have several such altars as relics of the Roman occupation at Hexham. The priest stands in front of the picture and brandishes over the victim the sacrificial knife. The worshippers kneel before him. In the background a figure of Jupiter. A thunderstorm breaks over the scene and suggests the impending cataclysm which is to sweep away Roman idolatry. The idea is Christ the Light drawing the heathen to Himself. The text “And the idols He shall | utterly abolish” [Isa. 2:18] lends further to this idea. |

| BriefDescription | The central window above the Holy Table [when that was against the east wall] represents the Christ as “I am The Bread of Life” [John 6:35]. Below is represented Queen Etheldreda, the Foundress of the Abbey, inspecting with St Wilfrid the plans of the Abbey she is building at Hexham. A kneeling page exhibits the plan which the architect is explaining; while, behind, Italian masons are working at the fabric on a scaffolding. The idea is, the building of the Church leading to Christ as the Living Bread and the Head of the Church. The inscription reads: Build ye the Sanctuary | of the LORD GOD [1 Chr. 22:19]. |

| BriefDescription | The window on the right portrays the figure of Christ as “I am the Good Shepherd” [John 10:14]. Below, St Cuthbert, a Bishop of Hexham, is represented as confirming the young people of Northumbria; of whom a biographer writes over 1,200 years ago: “St Cuthbert used to go round in his Diocese bountifully distributing counsels of salvation, as well as laying his hands on the newly baptized that they might receive the grace of the Holy Spirit.” A thane kneels before the Saint and his followers gather round for the Laying on of Hands. The idea is that of good Shepherding the young by the Chief Shepherd of the Diocese. The inscription reads: “Exhorted the Brethren | and confirmed them” [Acts 15:32]. |

He was grandfather, on the maternal side, of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, Lord Montgomery of Alamein.

| Title | Great West Window. Charles Henderson Memorial Window. |
| ObjectName | stained-glass | window |
| Material | glass |
| LabelText | ‘A tender memorial to our beloved’
The creation of the impressive West Window took place amid the turbulent years of the
Great War.
It was planned as a memorial to Charles Henderson, from St John Lee, who died just after
the outbreak of World War I, ‘as a result of a chill caught while doing war work’. |
| BriefDescription | “Northumbrian Saints & Their Histories”
A five-light window of great size, with bold mullions and tracery. The five lights each have three tiers of panels, the two upper being filled with large single figures of the Saints of Northern England, and the third with subjects illustrating episodes in their history.
In the TRACERY are twelve angels adoring Christ in Majesty who is at the top; two below Christ bear scrolls with the words: “O ye servants of the LORD” and “Praise ye The Lord”. The stonework of the tracery has been likened to the outline of a butterfly, which symbolizes the Resurrection.
The two UPPER TIERS are filled with large single figures of the Saints of Northern England who had been most closely associated with the evangelization of Northumbria:
Top, from the left: S.Paulinus, S.Aidan, S.Edwin K.M., S.Acca, V.Bede;
Centre: S.Oswald, S.Wilfrid [misspelt Wilfred], S.Etheldreda Q, S.Cuthbert, S.John of Beverley.
The LOWEST TIER has subjects illustrating episodes in the history of the figures in the central tier, with a two-line text at the foot of each light:
Here St Oswald at the battle of the Heavenfield | raiseth the Cross of God.
Here St Wilfrid doth instruct the Master Builder | concerning the plans of his Great Church.
Here St Etheldreda doth convey certain lands | to St Wilfrid for the erection of his Cathedral Church, [with her steward Ouini taking part in the transfer].
Here St Cuthbert liveth on the island of Farne in constant con | templation of Our Blessed Saviour and cherished God’s creatures; [a Crucifixion scene, birds, an otter, a seal are shown].
Here St John of Beverley is received by the priest of Lee | where it was his custom frequently to enter into retreat [the church is shown above].
Memorial Inscription. A bronze tablet [HEXAB1022] below the window bears a heraldic shield and the Henderson motto SOLA VIRTUS NOBILITAT [Virtue alone ennobles]. |

| ObjectHistoryNote | Mrs Henderson and the members of her family have decided to erect a memorial to her husband and their father, Charles William Chipchase Henderson, who died on December 3rd, 1914, and was laid to rest on December 5th in the Hexham Cemetery. The subject of the window had been chosen by Mr Henderson before his death, “he used to think that he might be able to put it in himself”. His plan was carried out by his widow and family. “Mr Bosdet, in consultation with the Rector, Mr Temple Moore, and the family interested, have already given much thought to the proposed memorial.” [Hex. Par. Mag. Apr. 1916]
“Mr Bosdet thinks he will have the great west window ready for Unveiling and Dedication on September 30th.” [Hex.Par.Mag. Sep.1917 p.2]
Dedicated 3rd November 1918 by the Rector (delayed because Mrs Hendeson was ill).
The window is of specific interest designated by The Council for the Care of Churches in 1995. |
