Summary
Painted or stained glass window - One of eight windows above the blind arcades in the Nave with the lower lights left to plain glass and the top smaller lights painted and decorated. The window is in the perpendicular style in the form of a pointed arch. The top lights are surrounded by tracery of the flowing decorated style. At the top four quatrefoils, top and bottom foils come to a point with rounded side sections and each of the side foils are rounded coming to a point joining the those of the top and bottom. The top quatrefoil has a Latin phrase in a scroll running around the form. In the centre a shield shape depicting three wheatsheaves on a red background with gold border interspersed with red dots. The left quatrefoil has a red rose to the centre and the right quatrefoil has a blue. The bottom quatrefoil shows a white lily rising from a vase at the base and flowering in each of the upper three sections. The lily represents the Virgin Mary and the three wheatsheaves signify the artist Charles Eamer Kemp.
