St Oswald & St Edmund, Aston-in-Makerfield Windows

---

In August 1928 Fr. O’Meara of the Basilica of St. Oswald commissioned Harry to create all of the windows for the church at Aston-in-Makerfield, Lancaster. This contract was filled over several years and was not completed until well after Harry’s death (Bowe: 1994). Seven windows that Clarke worked on depicted saints devoted to the Eucharist and were completed in 1930. The saints depicted were: Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Clare, Saint Ita, Saint Juliana, Saint Falconieri, Saint Paschal Baylon, Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Tarcisius.
