Subject(s) - Notes:	Some writers state that the figure is St Michael rather than St George. We consider that it is St George, in particular he has a shield rather than wings.

		Inscription at Base of Window
		Plaque to previous window made in 1866 by William Holland, in memory of Mary Holte Bracebridge. It included scenes of the Four Acts of Charity, the 2 Mary's and Joanna at the tomb, the Resurrection, and Mary Magdalene meeting Our Saviour after the Resurrection.
		This notice explains that in 1944 (after only 78 years) the window to Mrs Bracebridge was in such a bad state, that it was replaced with the current one, made by Leonard Walker, and donated by Ethel Green, in memory of members of her family.
		Makers Mark: Leonard Walker, Assistant Robert Pearce
