Description
A three-light stained glass window depicting the Transfiguration of Jesus, who is depicted in the centre light. In the lefthand light is depicted Moses, and in the righthand light, Elijah. Knelt before them are the disciples, Peter, James, and John. There is a text on a scroll above the head of Christ, beneath a symbol of the hand of God reaching down from the heavens within a quatrefoil. The Christograms IHS and Khi Rho appear between the two. Above Moses is a cross, and above Elijah a crown, both within quatrefoils. The dedication is written in the glass below the centre light, and there are texts at the bottom of the two sidelights.
