The Worcestershire Chronicle reports “ ST. HELEN’S CHURCH - Another very interesting feature has been added to the already very interesting church of St. Helen, High-street. It is in the form of a very beautiful stained glass window to the late Dr. Nash, the erection of which was only a few days completed. One subject is the representation of the three women at the sepulchre [sic] of Jesus; and the other illustrates Mary meeting the Saviour, when He says ‘Thy brother shall rise again ‘ St. John, 11 ch., 23 ver. The colouring and the drawing of the pictures are exceptionally good. Above the subjects and the quaterfoil are a number of angels brought out in beautiful clearness. Indeed, the whole window is remarkable for its entire freedom from that harshness of tone, colour, drawing, and general treatment which are too frequently seen in glass windows. This beautiful work was executed by Messrs. Ward and Hughes, of Soho-square, London, under the able management and zealous care of Mr. Forsyth, of this city “
