Four of seven saints, depicted by Harry Clarke, above the sanctuary in the church of St. Oswald & St. Edmund, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Greater Manchester


Harry Clarke was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator. Born in Dublin, he was a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement. In the Church of St. Oswald & St. Edmund Arrowsmith in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Greater Manchester, seven spectacular windows of his surround the sanctuary with St. Juliana Falconieri as the central figure. In this composite image the far right figure shows St. Juliana Falconieri with the Eucharistic host upon her breast. To the left of her, from left to right, are the figures representing Saints Tarcisius, Clare and Ita. In reality, the figures are more widely spaced around the dome surrounding the sanctuary.
