Fragments, set on modern white stippled
glass, include the top half of a figure of St Margaret of
Antioch, which formed a pair with St Catherine, now in B4. She
stands, crowned, with long hair and nimbed, facing to sinister
holding a book in her left hand and a cross-staff in her right,
wearing a white mantle over a white robe with yellow-stain
quatrefoil pattern. The lower part of the face is missing and
patched with a fragment. Below is part of another figure, almost
certainly from the series of female saints from this window or
nIV. This figure is carrying what appears to be part of a wooden
beam or stake and wears a white mantle with yellow-stain
hem.

At the top of
the light are fragments, probably from this window of drapery,
foliage, and canopy. Trace-line, matt-wash with stippling and
stick-work. Yellow stain appears as indicated, and on the crown,
hair, and beam. The medieval glass has both internal and
external pitting.

Fragments, set on modern white stippled
glass, including the bottom two-thirds of a figure of a female
saint wearing a white mantle over a white robe decorated with a
yellow-stain slipped trefoil pattern, and holding her long hair
in her left hand; the figure is probably that of St Mary
Magdalen, and the pose suggests that she faced to sinister.
Below the figure is part of a pedestal, with a yellow-stain
ears-of-barley pattern, similar to that below the figure of St
Catherine in B4, but with the pattern sloping to the left. At
the top of the light are one large and two small canopy
fragments. Technique as A1.The figure has light external
pitting, heavier pitting on the canopy.

Fragments, set on modern white stippled
glass, including St Helen standing, holding the upright of a
cross in her right hand with her left hand across her breast,
wearing a white mantle with beaded yellow-stain hem over a white
robe with flared cuffs. Above her is a large fragment of canopy
from this window and below on a scroll set against plants in
blackletter is 'e/llina'.
Technique as A1. The head and feet of the figure are missing.
The scroll and saint belong together and are different in style
and design from the other figures; this is consistent with the
figure having been originally in nIV, as suggested above. The
figure has heavy eternal pitting, lesser pitting on the scroll;
canopy suffers from severe paint loss, with external pitting.

with yellow-stain on canopy, hair, wheel, quatrefoil, and
ears-of-barley pattern and front of pedestal. The lower part of
