Notes on Window:	This window was originally installed in the east window of Holy Trinity, Penn. It was replaced at Penn in 1931, and reinstalled here in the N Transept at Penn Street. Pevsner thinks by Willement, presumably based on an 1849 date, contemporary with the other windows. More... "The original lights of clear leaded glass, identical to 06 (S Transept S) have been overlaid with stained glass containing 3 figures. These figures are too small for the lights and opaque pale yellow diamond leaded mottled glass has been used to fill the gap left in the lights." (NADFAS report 1985/88). Two Penn residents remembered the window being re-installed at Penn Street.
