Signed by the artist.
The artist, who lived in Llansteffan, moved the two-light window by Celtic Studios to the east wall of the north chapel, to make room for the new memorial window, in memory of Doris Baker.
The theme of the window is the eucharist. The three interlocking circles indicate the Trinity. For a full description and interpretation see Alison Smith's article (2010).
