St Margaret stands, or possibly sits, facing to dexter and wearing a white mantle decorated with yellow motifs and with hands raised to shoulder level; two hands are placed on her left shoulder, and a third on the left points at her face. To her right is the purple arm with lozenge pattern of another figure attached to an elaborate garment with yellow pattern; lower down is a leg in blue hose. Before her stands a man, facing to dexter in profile, wearing a ruby tunic with a black twisted branch pattern round the neck, a yellow fringe at the side, and large green sleeves diapered with a black pattern, fastened at the waist by a silver belt with a yellow buckle. White, blue, ruby and green glass, with trace-line, stipple shading, back-painting on the drapery, and yellow stain. This is part of a main-light panel, the left part of which is missing and presumably depicted Olybrius. c.1420 – c.1430.

C2. Christ and Nicodemus. A figure sits on the right, wearing a blue robe with yellow cuffs. With his left hand he points towards a standing figure on the left who is wearing a purple mantle over a white robe, with left hand raised, and over whose head is a scroll, which overlaps a canopy side-shaft and bears the blackletter inscription: 'Spirit(us) ubi vult spet [sic, for spirat] Joh(annes) 3o'. 29 White, blue and purple glass, with trace-line, stipple shading and yellow stain. c.1430 – c.1450. Panel much disturbed and altered, and reading of figures is doubtful, although parts may well belong with the text, which identifies the subject. Woodforde thought that figure on left was Nicodemus, but as Christ says the words on the scroll, it must represent him, if any of the panel is original. Bottom part of robe and hand are mostly likely original pieces; head is not, as the nimbus is not crossed. Head on figure on right, which may well be Nicodemus, has been reversed since illustrated by Woodforde in 1950 and no longer has a hat over it. The panel is made up at the sides and top with fragments of micro-architecture; at the base are parts of two pedestals decorated with a rosette pattern, and the lower one also has part of a figure; the background between the figures consists of medieval fragments, including orange diaper; behind the scroll the glass is ruby. White, blue, ruby, purple and orange glass, with trace-line, stipple shading and yellow stain. 15th-c. Some paint loss on inscription and face of right-hand figure.

Above, below and to the right are fragments of micro-architecture; to the left of the made-up figure is part of a spear with a cloth wrapped round it, and a scroll with blackletter, which is very faded. It appears to read 'D/ /erebit [illegible] di(s) mea/ / I', perhaps for 'Dominus (or Deus) miserebitur cordis meae …'. Above the head on a scroll is a text in blackletter ' t adorar '. Next to the figure the background is ruby, and at the top, blue. White, blue and ruby glass, with trace-line, stipple shading and yellow stain. c.1430 – c.1450.

The background is ruby glass with a design of clouds and stars. The saint has been given a lower body with a white robe with a seaweed pattern and one foot facing forwards. The panel is made up with fragments: micro-architecture at the top, bottom and sides, and another scourge to the left of the saint’s head.

A2. Parable of the Unjust Steward? A bearded man stands on the left wearing a ruby mantle with white tippet and soft blue hat, facing to dexter, holding his beard in his right hand and an unidentified object in his left. To his right stands a ?servant in a purple tunic with white belt and hose. Before him kneels a man at a desk, wearing a blue tunic with white belt and ruby hose, who holds up an open book for the bearded man to see. The scene is set in a canopied niche with chequered pedestal against a ruby background within the niche. Woodforde thought that this was a depiction of a parable, probably of the Unjust Steward. 35 It appears to depict the opening scene: ‘There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.’ 36 The steward kneels before the rich man, holding up his account book, while his accuser looks on. White, blue, ruby and purple glass, with trace-line, stipple shading, and yellow stain. There is a glazier’s sorting mark on the side shafting. c.1430 – c.1450. Canopy top incomplete and made up with fragments, including one with a different sorting mark; heads of rich man and accuser very worn, as is part of side shaft on left; light–medium exterior corrosion; a few repair leads.

1c. Two scenes from the Life of St George Series, set in a canopied niche, with a seated lion top centre, on blue clifflets, with yellow and white trees and a ruby seaweed diaper sky. The main scene, which occupies the lower half and upper right sections of the panel beneath the canopy top, depicts the bearded St George in full plate armour with open visor on his galloping and caparisoned horse attacking a murrey dragon with yellow-stain wings, which lies on its back bottom left. The saint holds his sword in the air behind his head ready to strike, and his broken lance is in his left hand. Above him to the right stands a maiden in a ruby robe trimmed in ermine, her hair covered with a yellow net and cauls. In her right hand she holds a lamb on a leash. The preceding incident is set top left and depicts St George on his horse as before, arriving and greeting the maiden dressed as before by raising his visor with his left hand, his right hand holding a lance. On the chest of the horse is a small shield with a plain cross, the arms of St George. Made-up border of fragments top and bottom and a thin plain fillet at the sides. White, ruby and blue glass. Technique as 1a of this window. c.1420 – c.1430. Complete, except for piece of canopy at top to left of lion, replaced with matching piece, and a larger section of fore-quarters of the horse, replaced with medieval fragments; both these are recent intrusions of old glass replacing more obtrusive earlier insertions. 44 Ruby glass has lost flashing in some places near edges; external corrosion, heavy on blue and murrey glass, light on rest.

1a. Horses and hounds and other fragments. In the bottom part of the panel are fragments with caparisoned horses’ heads and legs and two hounds on a leash walking in a landscape with clifflets, from a scene from the Life of St Margaret Series (where Olybrius is riding in the country and sees Margaret pasturing her sheep). One of the horses has a small shield on its breast, Argent a devil’s face sable, appropriate for a heathen. A fragment with part of a tunic with belt, from which hangs the hilt of a sword on a chain that also be from this series. Probably from the Life of St George series is part of a robe with a cinquefoil pattern and a hand holding a leash or cord; this may be the king’s daughter leading the wounded dragon away, but in the panel depicting St George attacking the dragon she has a ruby robe. Other fragments include sheaves of corn being gathered; a hand holding a spiked wheel, set on a seaweed diaper, from a figure of St Catherine; part of a man carrying a sheep, apparently up a ladder, possibly from a depiction of Noah entering the ark; parts of two small men from inhabited canopy shafts; micro-architecture; the base of a lectern; and parts of seaweed-diaper screens. There are also pieces of blackletter text: ' vitam ' (perhaps from the Creed scroll text ‘Et vitam eternam. Amen’ carried by St Matthias); 'ia dn …’; ‘s(an)c(t)us' or ‘s(an)c(t)a’; 'drac(o) & co'; and 'nun(c)ia'. The last two are similar in design, and the reference to a dragon could point to either the Life of St George Series or the Life of St Margaret Series. Bottom left is part of a blackletter inscription reading: 'a(nn)o d(omin)i mi(llesi)mo ccc lxviio'; this was painted by G. King & Son to replace an original piece recorded by Woodforde, who mistakenly thought this was the date of the St Margaret and St George windows. c.1420 – c.1450. Light to medium exterior corrosion.

1b. Figure of St James Major and fragments. A fragmentary main-light bearded figure of St James stands facing to dexter, holding a staff with scrip and a wallet with a whelk and a scallop shell, wearing a white mantle with a yellow-stain hem and rosette pattern and soft leather shoes, on a pedestal with a chequered rosette pattern and a scroll with blackletter text: 'S(anctus) Jacob(us) maio[r] '. White glass, with trace-line, stipple shading, and yellow stain. The figure is confused, and may include parts of two figures, as two staffs are visible. The piece with the middle section of the left-hand staff is inside-out. Above the figure is a made-up canopy top, including a small figure and a piece with pendant boss like those in the Life of St Margaret Series. Immediately above the head are two pieces with blackletter text: ' Et ' and ' Nicolaus '. c.1420 – c.1450. Exterior corrosion, heavy on the Life of St Margaret Series micro-architecture, lighter on the rest; several repair leads on the figure of St James.

This is from the story of Christ and Nicodemus in John III, 8 (not III, 38, as Woodforde 1950, p. 62). The whole verse reads: ‘Spiritus ubi vult spirat et vocem eius audis sed non scis unde veniat et quo vadat sic est omnis qui natus est ex Spiritu.’ Return to context
