St John The Baptist, North Luffenham, Rutland

14th Century glass in the north window of the chancel.

 

"Before the restoration the east window contained a considerable amount of early 14th-century glass, placed there by John de Mollesworth, rector (1284– 1329), (fn. 131) but this is now in the middle window on the north side of the chancel and in the middle light of the easternmost window. The middle window contains nine shields placed in three tiers, and beneath the upper tier are canopied figures of St. Mary Magdalene, St. Barbara and St. Edward the Confessor."
