1a. A male secular donor figure kneeling
before an altar-tomb in prayer to the right, wearing a blue
houppelande with fur-lined cuffs and belted at the waist. On his
right shoulder can be seen the roundlet of a purple chaperon,
the liripipe of which falls down the front. The background is

right and left are made of fragments, but include sunbursts that
may be original to the panel. Below is an imperfect inscription
in blackletter: 'Orate/

1–2b. The nimbed and bearded St John the Baptist
stands facing to dexter, holding a book in his left
hand, on which sat a now missing Agnus Dei; parts of
the pennant and cross are still visible.
22
He wears an
olive-green mantle over a voluminous white robe whose hem is
decorated with roundels. Beneath is a camel’s skin; the head is
visible between his bare legs. He stands on a pedestal with
chequered paving with a quatrefoil pattern. Behind his head runs
a scrolls on which in blackletter is 'Ecce agnus/ dei'. This is painted on an area
of fictive plain quarries, which presumably was the background
to the whole figure, now set on modern plain quarries. The panel
is narrower than the light at the sides, showing that a painted
border, such as is still seen in other clerestory lights, was
originally present. c.1460 – c.1470. Some exterior corrosion, a
little paint loss, dirty in some areas, a few repair leads.

Roundel: Marian monogram set in a plain
blue border. The design is similar to but slightly different
from the roundels in NIII 2a and 2b. The monogram is crowned,
the interlace pattern has a double line and the beaded border is
absent. Judging from G. A. King’s drawing, the roundel has been
cut down slightly to make it the same size as the
others.

Matthew. Trace-line, thick matt wash, relieving. White glass,

Gnadenstuhl Trinity: the
bearded God the Father (face now missing) stands against a glory
with hands raised and right hand blessing, wearing an ermine
lined ruby mantle with rosette pattern and a white hem with
yellow-stain rosette pattern over a white robe with similar
decoration, behind a figure of Jesus crucified, wearing a purple
loin cloth. The dove of the Holy Spirit flies between the two
heads. God the Father and the cross, which has a tripartite orb
at the base, both stand on an ears-of-barley pedestal. To the
left kneels a praying male secular donor wearing a blue
houppelande with fur-lined cuffs and belted at the waist. The
liripipe of his chaperon falls down the front.
24
Vertically above the donor’s head is a scroll with blackletter
inscription 'S(an)c(t)a
Trinita[s]'. To each side is a broad
rod-and-leaf border, and at the bottom an incomplete blackletter
inscription 'Orate p(ro)
an[ima]/ [Wi]ll(ielm)i
Gili[s]
'. Above the figure of God the
Father and in the head of the light is modern plain quarry
glazing. Trace-line, stipple shading, relieving. White glass,
with yellow stain. There also appears to be an abraded flower
pattern on God’s mantle, but this is not shown on King’s
watercolour and it may be that a back-painted pattern led to the
corrosion of the ruby flash. Also lost are the tip of God’s left
hand, a piece to the left of Jesus’s face, and parts of the
lowest strip of glass, which is patched with fragments. King’s
watercolour shows that the inscription has been cut short and
raised; it originally had 'ora
pro me' after the ‘Sancta Trinitas’.

several repair leads.

the Christ Child in her left. To the right kneels a female
secular donor facing to sinister with hands raised in prayer,
wearing a white veil and blue gown with fur-trimmed sleeves.
Vertically from her hands rises a scroll with blackletter
inscription 'Mat(er) dei
memento mei ani'. To each side is a
broad rod-and-leaf border, and at the base is an inscription in
blackletter '& Matilde
uxor eius'. Technique as 1a and 1b of this

Virgin’s chest and hair, and a piece at either end of
inscription. King’s watercolour shows the Christ Child’s garment
as missing except for the hem; possibly the blue glass now there
is a replacement. c.1460 – c.1470. Moderate external corrosion,
worse on the blue glass; several repair leads.
