Stained glass window in the north wall of St. John?s Church in Hampton, Virginia bears the seal of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the great English mission society. It incorporates the names of the colonial clergy and was installed about 1903 by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The rector objected to the inclusion of the name Jeremiah Taylor (1667) because he "had not the best reputation, being credited with a liking for things of the flesh." A compromise was reached; the Rev. Mr. Taylor's name is bracketed to indicate forever his tarnished reputation! The title on the window is, "In Memory of the colonial clergy of Elizabeth City Parish, Virginia."
