Description

The stained glass in St Mary's Church is from the late 15th century. This window, nV, depicts the head of Christ in the upper light with four lights depicting the 'Wise and Foolish Virgins'. Below, in the main panels, is the figure of Christ in the centre displaying the Five Holy Wounds. Originally this was surrounded by the Seven Sacraments, only a panel of the Sacrament of Holy Orders exists.
