Highlight

East window

Artist, maker and date

Flemish glaziers, 16th century

Reason for highlighting

The glass for the east window came from Aarschot, Belgium and illustrates the ‘Eating of the Passover Meal’. Using dark grisaille paint, yellow silver stain and red sanguine paint for flesh, it is an extremely fine example of Renaissance craftsmanship and design.

Other comments

The church has further fifteenth and sixteenth century glass along with an interesting memorial window in the porch by Jane Gray, 1980.

In addition to some very fine stained glass, the church has a treasure trove of fine continental fittings mostly bought by Lord Monson in the 1830s.
