The two stained glass baptistery windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) and made up by Morris & Co. were installed in All Saints', Putney, London SW15 in 1878. They are particularly pleasing. Both show youthful musicians, these four with violins in front of a music stand/lectern, praising God. Two may be singing, as well. The listing text describes the windows as "lobed roundels": on the circumference are smaller roundels featuring leaves, berries, etc. The London: South Pevsner praises them warmly as "the most attractive windows in the church" (Cherry and Pevsner 680).
