Detail of the north chapel east window by Morris & Co, made almost entirely from designs by Edward Burne Jones (some design elements reused from earlier projects) and installed in 1874. The magnificent former collegiate church of St Editha dominates the town centre of Tamworth. It is an impressively large building of mainly 14th - 15th century date with an imposing west tower (the stump of a former spire is just visible above the parapet), the lower part of which serves as a lofty main entrance and antechamber to the nave. The spacious interior has several fine monuments (including several medieval tombs on the north side of the chancel and a splendid Baroque piece under the tower) and much fine stained glass by Pre Raphaelite artists (Burne Jones & Ford Madox Brown in the chancel, Henry Holiday in the nave aisles), one of the most rewarding displays in any Midland church. The church is generally open to visitors most days between 10am & 4pm.
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!
