During my walkabouts on Doors Open weekend, I paid a visit into St. Matthew's in the Glebe. My previous post is here. I didn't add this pic into the mix at the time, one of the many stained glass works in the sanctuary. It dates back to the 1950s, in memory of a woman by her husband and children. As is so often the case with stained glass in churches, a scene from the New Testament is the subject.
A beautiful piece of work! You've had some wonderful stained glass shots.

And that sums up the history of the neighbourhood, as it was given as a tract of land for the building of a church.
