In response to an enquiry by PN re Enos and Enoch and who caused the confusion over name: EB-J or Morris & Co. William Waters writes:

William Morris Gallery: "Enoch" This figure which, on the window is called Enos, was originally designed for Calcutta Cathedral in 1874. The figure in Calcutta is called Enoch (written underneath). Another figure designed for Frankby in 1872 is Enoch and is a separate design.

Account Book: The entry for Calcutta does not identify by name the figures included (May-June 1874) The entry for Frankby (Dec 20 1872) Burne-Jones names the figure "Enos" but in the window it is titled Enoch (This is a different design from Calcutta and Habergham Eaves (William Morris Gallery).

So Burne-Jones has caused the confusion.

NB Enoch and Enos are two distinct figures in the bible. Morris and Company occasionally interchanged figures calling them different names which doesn't help!
