Jackson and sold by R. and J. Dodsley (et al). Hole writes in support of the church wardens, who had ornamented the church in various ways, in particular with a stained glass window, which opponents considered 'a superstitious image or picture', further objecting that it had been put up without a licence. The parishioners eventually won their case, and the window stayed. The plates show a plan of the window and Onslow on his seat in the church. Approximately 10 ¼ inches tall.
