Stained glass window south 1. Panel 1 named Isaihae (Isaiah) and wearing a gold tasseled white robe and hat. His right hand points to the word -incantu- (song), his right holds the protocollon stick ot the end of the scroll around him. The figure below is a mixture of fragments with bizarrely a pointing harm in place of a leg. Above, a fleur de lys or in a bordure gules crowned. I interpret these Arms as Henry VII claiming France through descent from the Angevin kings. Panel 2 Patriarch wearing red robes and ermine hat. He has a rich sash of golden links, hung with gold. Patrocu Jocobus, the Patriarch Jacob, is written on the scroll next to his face. Above him, a crowned Royal Arms of Henry VIII. Below him, the Blessed Virgin Mary (blue robed over white) hands clasped and looking downwards in a sorrowful manner. Panel 3 Royal Angevin Arms again. Patriarch named below Ezec (Ezekiel) wearing a red hood with gold trim, a belt with golden faces, a plum coloured baldric (perhaps) a purple robe and gold latched sandals. Below is a saint with right hand raised in benediction. He stands among trees by a city. (Photo Mar 2010).
