Notes on Window:	Stained glass is only in the "Rose window style" tracery. The 3 lights below have plain glass which now looks rather unusual. More... The reason is that previously there was a vast oak reredos which completely obscured the three main lights of the East window, and even the bottom halves of the 2 lower lights of the tracery. Therefore there was no point in having Stained Glass in the 3 main lights, which would never be seen.
