The Bragg Family Windows, Centre Light:- God the Father, (detail). Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Wigton, Cumbria, England.


The three Bragg Family Windows were commissioned by Lord Melvyn Bragg to commemorate members of his family. The windows were designed by Brian Campbell and were manufactured and installed by Alex Haynes in 2009. The windows are installed on the North side of the church to replace what were formerly plain windows. The window illustrated is the centre window. The inscription is " NOT IN ENTIRE FORGETFULNESS AND NOT IN ENTIRE NAKEDNESS BUT TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DO WE COME FROM GOD WHO IS OUR HOME" a quotation from Wordsworth:- Ode. Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. The window is "DEDICATED TO ALMIGHTY GOD. GIVEN BY MELVYN BRAGG IN THANKSGIVING FOR HIS PARENTS ETHEL AND STANLEY BRAGG. 2009". The detail shows the central section of the window and includes the church of Saint Mary, with elements of stone tracery and column and capitol from the earlier medieval church; the Alpha and Omega symbols; the font and oak leaves, ivy and rose.
