The East window The story of St Laurence is recounted in 27 panels. Although very restored by David Evans in 1832 - many of the panels are his - it is believed he copied the surviving scenes faithfully, although the originals would seem to have disappeared. The window reads l. to r. and top to bottom starting below the tracery lights at a4:-
b4 L is ordained c4 L guards the treasure d4 L gives money to the poor and crippled e4 L is made prisoner f4 L is brought to Decius g4 Idols fall before L h4 L is imprisoned i4 L in prison heals a blind man a3 L converts the gaoler b3 L brings the blind and crippled to Decius c3 Decius beats the cripples d3 L with the instruments of torture e3 L taken out to be stoned f3 L is scourged g3 L is beaten with clubs h3 L is beaten with whips i3 L has his flesh torn a2 L totured with red hot irons b2 L on the gridiron c2 L prepared for the tomb d2 A decon breaks a chalice e2 L appears to a priest f2 L distributes food and wine g2 L shows followers a church to his memory h2 people praying in a church i2 Building a church (to L?) |
