size: 65 cm (width)firm/studio: Robert J. NewberyChurch of St Peter, Glasbury, Powyssouth wall of the nave
The window could be contemporary with the Boer War memorial window by the same firm.
Text: 'I am the light of the World".A particularly weak derivative from Holman Hunt, albeit a typical work by the firm. Note the curious placing of the pot of lilies - emblem of the Virgin Mary and associated with the Annunciation - on the doorstep.
