In the north wall of the Speke Chapel is this window, which shows the complete scene of Moses in the bull rushes (Exodus 2 vv 1-10).
Above the main scene are medallions depicting Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The four medallions below the main scene depict the following:
Isaiah holding a white scroll with the words 'Unto us a child is born' (Isaiah 9 v 6).
Jeremiah carrying a scroll with the words 'There is hope in their end' (Jeremiah 31 v 17).
Ezekiel with a scroll bearing the words 'Can these bones live' (Ezekiel 37 v 3).
Daniel bearing a scroll with the words 'The ancient days did sit' (Daniel 7 v 9).
The window was presented by John Lee-Lee, 'In memory of John Hanning Speke OBt Sep 15th 1864 aet 37', his nephew.
