Memorials of the Dead
IN S. MICHAEL'S CHURCH,
COVENTRY.
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS.
THE five windows forming an apse in the East are large and of noble proportions; they have three tiers of four compartments each, the rich tracery occupying more than one third of the whole area. North and South windows. No. I, and V.,[1] are filled with the old stained glass taken from the others (the two lower tiers of which were formerly blocked up with brick) and from some of the clerestory windows, but as they are not monumental windows. I refrain from further description of them.
They are not the less worthy of careful inspection, as there will be found many fragments of armorial shields, merchant marks, inscriptions and portions of figures which indicate the scriptural character of the whole design.
- ↑ The number placed before the description of each window refers the reader to its position. On the plan of the church it is placed outside, opposite to the window.
