St. John and St Luke in a south chancel window of William Butterfield's St Mary Magdalene, Enfield, installed in c.1883. This would have been designed by Butterfield and made up by Heaton, Butler and Bayne (see "The Chancel Glass" and Eberhard). Like the east window itself, it is very much in Butterfield's style — bold, with "mosaic effects" from "complex leading and jewel-like colour" and Pre-Raphaelite in detail (Hill). Both gospel-writers have their quills at the ready; St Luke is about to commit his words to the page.
