All the panels in this window are set on plain quarry glazing.
2a. Head of God the Father(?) from a
main-light figure, crowned, bearded and nimbed, facing to
sinister. Trace-line with extensive use of stipple-shading and
fine lines, with a few relieved highlights. Yellow stain on
crown, leaving jewels white. Any back-painting is obscured by
external corrosion, which is heavier on the beard. c.1490 –
c.1500.

1–2b. Fragment panel. The central feature is the nimbed head of a
doctor of the church facing to
sinister, wearing a pileus. Trace-line,
matt wash, stipple-shading, back-painting on the pileus. White glass, with black paint and
yellow stain. c.1465–80. A section on the left is missing, and
there is some paint loss. Above is part of a blackletter
inscription: '
[S(an)c(tu)]s
gregor[ius]
'. This may or may not
belong with the head below, but attests to the former presence
here of a series of the four doctors of the church. Much of the
rest of the panel is made up of fragments of canopy work, with
rod-and-leaf border, clifflets with plants, fragments of
patterned quarries, and part of a nimbed male head, all
c.1465–80. All fragments suffer from corrosion, some on both
sides.

Composite shield of arms. The dexter
side consists of Delapole quartering Chaucer, for John Delapole,

The sinister
side has the arms of Winter from a rather smaller shield,
perhaps from a shield of Braunch impaling Winter. Trace-line,
stipple-shading. White, pot-blue, and flashed ruby glass, with
yellow stain. The Delapole fess is new, the lion has a repair
lead and has lost some paint. The fess of the Winter impalement
has two repair leads and there is some paint loss. c.1465 –
c.1480.

The background is a thick
matt wash from which circles are relieved. Stipple-shading on

Censing angel kneeling and facing to
sinister with raised arms wearing a white robe with beaded hem.

background with a leaf pattern to the right of the figure. The
upper wing is in pot-yellow glass; the lower is made up of a
piece of opaque, probably ruby, glass and one of green.

restoration using yellow stain, probably absent from the

Canopy top, with three arches, gable
ends, and a central finial top. Trace-line, stipple-shading,
relieving. White glass, with black paint and yellow stain.
c.1465 – c.1480. The original background seems to have been
ruby, but one piece of blue is used on the left; an area left of
centre and on the left of the top foil is a modern restoration,
and there are two inserted fragments; paint loss and exterior
corrosion.

A1.
St Barbara, standing against a seaweed
diaper screen on a chequered pedestal, facing to sinister and
holding a triple-turreted tower in her left hand and a palm
branch in her right. She is nimbed and crowned, and her long
hair falls down onto a blue mantle with an ermine lining and
decorated yellow-stain hem. Beneath is a plain white robe with
yellow-stain hem. Trace-line, stipple-shading with relieved
highlights, and some back-painting. White and blue glass, with
black paint and yellow stain. c.1470 – c.1480. One piece of the
screen on the left and two on the right are modern restorations,
as is a small piece of the palm branch; light exterior
corrosion, heavier in places. In 1865, Winter recorded that the
area above the figure now occupied by modern plain quarry
glazing had a scroll with ‘S(an)c(t)a Barbara’, a star in the
top cusp, and a ruby background.

Gabriel from an Annunciation(?) standing
against a seaweed diaper screen facing to sinister, carrying a
sceptre and wearing a diadem, a mantle over feathers, and a
white robe, which is a restoration. There is a piece of ruby
glass next to the robe and restored mantle. Trace-line,
stipple-shading. White glass, with black paint and yellow stain.
c.1465 – c.1470. The bottom part of the wing is also modern, and
the piece with the arm is set a little too high. The whole is
set on modern plain quarry glazing.

Fragments set on plain quarry glazing,
including a crowned and nimbed female saint’s head facing to
sinister, and patterned quarries. Trace-line, stipple-shading,
relieving. White glass, with black paint and yellow stain.
c.1470 – c.1480. Slight exterior corrosion. The saint is
probably St Margaret, as the original figure was paired with St
Catherine in A2.

her left hand. Set on a few pieces of rose-en-soleil quarries.
Trace-line, stipple-shading, relieving. White and murrey glass,
with black paint and yellow stain. c.1470 – c.1480. Rather more
than half of the upper part of the figure survives in a rather
broken condition. Crown, nimbus, neck, and hand are all patched
with medieval intrusions. In addition to the lower part, the
right shoulder is missing, and there is a hole in the murrey
mantle, which is also patched with a piece of blue glass. Slight
exterior corrosion, heavier on the murrey glass.

Annunciate, kneeling, nimbed, and crowned with a
low coronet, with long hair and a white robe decorated with a
rosette pattern, before a prie-dieu with lectern, book, and lily
pot, her head turned back to face to dexter. A scroll rises
vertically to her right bearing in blackletter: 'Ecce ancilla domini fiat'; a dove
flies across the middle of the scroll. The figure is set on
fragmentary rose-en-soleil quarries. Trace-line,
stipple-shading, relieving. White and blue glass, with black
paint and yellow stain. c.1470 – c.1480. Much of the original
panel is missing, including the feet and arms of the figure,
though some of the blue fragments may be part of the mantle. The
scroll, though complete, is misplaced and has many repair leads.
Light to medium external corrosion.
