Lamb and Flag, detail of East window. Church of Saint John Baptist, Skelsmergh, Cumbria, England, United Kingdom, Europe.
The East window depicting the Crucifixion was designed by Heaton, Butler and Bayne in 1884 and is dedicated to the Morton family of Skelsmergh Hall. Heaton, Butler and Bayne were an English firm who produced stained-glass windows from 1862 to 1953. Clement Heaton (1824–82) founded his own stained glass firm in 1852, joined by James Butler in 1855. Between 1859 and 1861 they worked alongside Clayton and Bell and were joined by Robert Turnill Bayne, who became their sole designer and a full partner in the firm in 1862. The firm was known as Heaton, Butler and Bayne from 1862. The church was designed by architect Joseph Bintley and was built in 1871. Skelsmergh is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Skelsmergh and Scalthwaiterigg, in South Lakeland in rural Cumbria, situated about 4 miles ( km) north of Kendal, on the A6 road. St. John the Baptist Church at Skelsmergh dates from about 1871 and was built by Joseph Bintley, a Westmorland architect. Skelsmergh Hall incorporates a pele tower, probably built in 1425, with late 16th century and early 17th century additions. The tower is now an outbuilding. The River Sprint runs alongside the village and is "one of the quietest of the Lake District's valleys"
