St Paul's Cookhill, Worcestershire William Forster 1854 - 1934 Window by Sidney Harold Meteyard 1868 – 1947. Memorial Window to William Forster and his wife Sarah Ann, their daughter Kathleen Mary and his sister Mary Ann Wiggan. This window was erected in the year 1933 and is by Sidney Harold Meteyard 1868 – 1947. Born in Stourbridge, Meteyard studied at the Birmingham School of Art and subsequently lectured there. His best-known painting - "I am half sick of shadows", said the Lady of Shalott (1913), based on the poem by Tennyson - is in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. His wife Kate was the model for the Lady.

Meteyard died on 4th April 1947 at Malt House Cookhill, Worcestershire, and his funeral service was held at St Paul's Church Cookhill. The Forster Memorial window, by Meteyard, probably working together with his wife, was installed in St Paul's Cookhill in 1933. It was comissioned by William Forster of The Paddocks Cookhill, a neighbour and most probably acquaintance of the artist.
