Description: Stained glass window in the parish church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, North Yorkshire, England. Church completed in 1880, by architect William Swinden Barber. The right-hand light shows Elizabeth, wife of Zechariah, and her son John the Baptist. Her book shows a line from the Song of Zechariah. It translates as "You, my son, shall be called the prophet of the most high." (Luke 1:68-79). The child John is looking at baby Jesus in the other window light, and he holds the words "agnus dei" or Lamb of God. The left-hand light shows the Madonna and Child, and everybody is looking at John. A brass strip below the window says: "In memory of Amelia Tanner, the wife of the Reverend Canon Elliston, vicar of this parish. Died March 18 1925, aged 54 years. This window was given by parishioners and other friends."
