North rose window at St Edward the Confessor, Leek, which George Edmund Street restored in 1865-67.. The window was installed in c. 1907 (Pevsner 169). Like the rose window in the south chapel, this one features angels, but they are placed all the way around the outer circle, with the IHS Christogram and the four gospel-writers making up the pattern of the inner circle. According to the Staffordshire County Council site, and a footnot in Pevsner, both the north and south rose windows were designed by G. F. Bodley, though the listing text says simply that they were by Morris & Co.
