Called the Resurrection Window because it depicts the open tomb with angel, Mary Magdalene, Mary, wife of Clopas, all witnesses to the Resurrection.
The Nixon memorial window was placed in position in 1905. This window is the most northerly on the west side of the body of the church. The most southerly Flanders window on the west side was placed in position after 1932. Presumably these two windows replaced the non-memorial windows ordered in 1889. The 1889 windows probably were moved to the narthex.
