The Pedlar's Window, St Mary's Church, Lambeth. A small painted glass window that had occupied many positions in the church and commemorated the legend of the Pedlar who was supposed to have bequeathed and acre of land to the church. However, in a 'Free Press' article dated 11 April 1913, the solicitor of the Pedlar Charity states this claim as 'all rubbish' and that, according to old deeds in his possession, the land was bequeathed c.1400 by William Le Pedlar, the rector of Streatham. Coloured aquatint published by T.Simco, September 1794.
