| Description: A two-light stained glass window. The two lancet lights and a small central pane, are set within the Y-tracery of a gothic opening and contain glass in reds, golds and blue. Each light has a border of alternating flowers and foliage, a ribbon at the head bearing a text, a principal figure, and the inscription on a band across the foot. The left figure is of a bearded saint wearing robes of white and gold, holding a book with a text from Luke 24:53, and with a winged calf at his feet. This may allude to St Luke who is sometimes represented as an ox, which is a symbol of sacrifice. The right light has a depiction of a young saint in red and white and gold robes, reading from a book and with an eagle at his feet. This may represent St John the Evangelist with the Book of Revelations. The texts and inscription are in upright sentence-case gothic lettering. Glossary |
