East window
This East window in St Thomas's church, Noak Hill, is a composite. The upper lights show a Crucifixion scene and include the unusual and distinctively Flemish feature of angels flying round the Cross, each holding a chalice in which to collect Christ's blood. According to notes made by the vicar (P Brown) in 2008, these lights were originally installed in the church of Notre Dame du Lac at Tirlemont (Tienen) in Flemish Brabant. The glass dates from about 1535.
The lower lights are of a slightly later date ( circa 1590). St John the Baptist in the left hand light (with Agnus Dei) and St Peter in the right hand light ( with enormous key). These lights are French and came from Rouen.
The centre light in the lower half has been dated to the early 17th century and comes from Brussels. It shows the Blessed Virgin with Elizabeth and Zacharias.
Unfortunately the streaming sunlight was completely wrong for photographing this window, so this was the best I could manage.
