Artist, maker and date
Medieval glaziers, c.1490s
Reason for highlighting

Fifteen scenes of the Creation, with the nine orders of angels in the tracery, all contain a high percentage of original glass. Some of the scenes were inspired by the Cornish medieval mystery plays, the Ordinalia.

Other comments

The church has the second largest collection of medieval windows in an English parish church and the narrative windows of Noah, St Neot and St George are of equal importance.
