3 lights

Size (width x height):

7' 11" x 10' 6" or 2.12m x 3.21m

Subject(s):

Resurrection, flanked on left and right by the Raising of Lazarus, and the Raising of the widow of Nain's son (or Jairus's daughter?).

Subject(s) - Notes:

The three lights are Jesus' resurrection from the dead, and two "Miracles of Jesus" where Lazarus and the widow of Nain's son (or Jairus' daughter?) were raised from the dead. The church's guide book and a contemporary account in the Bucks Herald, 9th November 1861, say that the right hand scene, is the raising of the widow of Nain's son. However the Hardman archives say that the third light is the raising of Jairus' daughter.
