Description
Mee (1937) describes this window which ‘has a choir of red winged angels hovering above, while our Lord in a gleaming gown of rose and gold appears to Mary kneeling in a rich blue robe. This window is in the memory of Thomas Berry, the first man of the village to offer himself for the war [World War I] and the first to fall’.
