Epiphany House, Kenwyn
A.M.D.G. et in P.M. Caroli Willelmi Stubbs Truronensis Episcopi quarti hanc fenestram ponendam curaverunt adiutores et amici ⅯⅮⅭⅭⅭⅭⅩⅣ (Helpers and friends have had this window erected in 1914 to the greater glory of God and in pious memory of Charles William Stubbs, fourth bishop of Truro.)
The east window, showing Christ as the Intercessor:
Upper window, showing angels in heaven.
Left-hand light: upper: angel; lower: Virgin Mary
Centre light: upper: Christ; lower: communion chalice and fruits of the earth.
Right-hand light: upper: angel; lower: St. John
Charles William Stubbs was Bishop of Truro from 1906 to 1912.
Around the top of the window is written “ΠΑΝΤΟΤΕ ΖΩΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΕΝΤΥΓΧΑΝΕΙΝ ΥΠΕΡ ΗΜΩΝ” which is an adaptation of part of Hebrews 7:25 “… he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν) to read “… he ever liveth to make intercession for us” (ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν). Byrom, in his brief history of Epiphany House, suggests that the inscription should be translated “… he ever liveth to make intercession for me” but this would surely imply the singular personal pronoun ἐμοῦ instead of the plural ἡμῶν which is actually written.
The window was made by Powells. There is a short report in the Royal Cornwall Gazette of the funding of the window and other memorials to Bishop Stubbs.
