East window of 1855-60. Attributed to Shrewsbury artist David Evans and after the style of Rubens. It depicts St Catherine of Alexandria holding a palm leaf to signify martyrdom, holding a sword and standing in front of a cartwheel, the instrument of her death.

St Catherine's church is sited in a rural location in a little hamlet 2 miles from the centre of Wellington in Shropshire. The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales Circa 1870 described it as such.... “Eyton-upon-the-Wild-Moors, a parish in the Wellington district, Salop; on the Shrewsbury canal, 2 ½ miles N of Wellington r. station. It has a post-office, of the name of Eyton, under Wellington, Salop. Acres, 1,038. Real property, £3,234. Pop., 451. Houses, 88. The property is divided among a few. Many of the inhabitants are employed in the manufacture of bar-iron. The living is a rectory, annexed to the vicarage of Wellington, in the diocese of Lichfield. The church is very good. Lord Herbert of Chirbury was a native. Source: The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales [Wilson, John M]. A. Fullarton & Co. N. d. c. [1870-72].”
St Catherine's is still an active church serving a small but thriving community with some members of the congregation coming from afar. For details of services and events, please see......

David Eyton, Group Head of Technology, BP
This policy symposium, the third in a series on energy R&D supported by BP, steps back to look at the broader considerations of how a systems-based approach to R&D policy works – and how it could support the success of Europe’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan.

North wall, middle window. This window contains fragments of glass from the previous church dating back prior to 1500. The known fragments are in the lower half of the window. Below the centre roundel to the left, we see the Eyton family motto “ Je my oblige” which is believed to have connections to a small town in France and English Captain Foulques Eyton who made a gift of stained glass during the Hundred Years War. It is said the Captains 'device' or emblem was that of a millstone or grindstone and to the right (from bottom right of roundel) we see that device which some describe as a millwheel.
Immediately below is St Christopher holding a staff. To the left and at bottom left is St Catherine with a cartwheel at bottom right. The story of St Catherine of Alexandria is that she died a martyr and was ‘broken on a wheel’. She became the patron saint of wheel-crafts.
The armorial medallions in the centre of the windows are understood to have originally been sited in the old manor house adjacent to the chapel. They are believed to be late 16th or early 17th century. At the apex of the window can be seen one of the arms of the Eyton family.
