Notes on Window: | PHOTOGRAPHING THE WINDOW: This has proved difficult as the trees in the churchyard cast a range of green colours to photographs, which obscure the subtle colours of the stained glass itself. Therefore the designer's drawing of the window has been reproduced on this website alongside the Overall View photograph. |
