They were added in the last decade of the twentieth century and in the opening years of the twenty first. Enhancing the beauty of the cathedral, these symbol-rich windows serve also a didactic purpose and encourage a contemplative and devotional spirit. The project to fill the clerestory with stained glass was launched and supported by Dean Justus Marcus, who also wrote devotional texts on each of the windows for a booklet illustrated by the artist.[18] Old Testament figures inhabit the Dean's side, while the Precentor's side is filled by New Testament ones.

Chapel of the Deposition  (formerly St George's Chapel): Jacopo Palma painting

 This may be the only genuine painting in South Africa by the Venetian master Jacopo Palma (1544-1628). It hangs behind the Altar in the Chapel of the Deposition (it used to be St George's Chapel). In 1954 Basil Humphreys wrote that "the vast majority of the great religious paintings by Old Masters are to be found in churches and cathedrals throughout the world, and it is fitting that in our growing and graceful cathedral a start should be made in the accumulation of works of art which may stir in the beholders feelings of glory and praise not unlike the feelings of those who were stirred to create visual representation of what they felt."[57] 

Other paintings

 In September 1921 an "enlargement of the Good Shepherd" had been presented and was being hung in the then Lady Chapel. Comment made  - "what a large number of pictures hang in the vestry".[58] Behind the Altar in the Lady Chapel is a reproduction of the Sistine Madonna painted in 1515 by Raphael (1483-1520). The painting expresses the mystery of the Incarnation. Other reproductions are of Raphael's Madonna Di Casa D'Alba and works by Fra Filippo Lippi (c. 1457-1504) and Gerard David (Haarlem, c 1460-1523).[59]

In October 1890 he was licensed as a Lay Reader to assist Mr Stenson at St Matthews and with mission work in the Malay Camp. After a time spent in England, at St Augustine's Canterbury, he returned to South Africa and was sent by Bishop Hicks to Thaba N'chu and then to St Patrick's Bloemfontein.

This was in Dean Robson's time, and Gibson was Bishop. Mrs Rose recorded receiving 100 Pounds - which included the cost of the timber and he cabinet maker's time. The making up was done by Newcombe of Durban, from where it was railed to Kimberley.
