Benedictine window. Shrewsbury
This modern ( 1997) stained glass window in Shrewsbury Abbey by Jane Gray depicts the daily life of the Benedictine Order, a theme well-suited to this former Benedictine Abbey. It is dedicated to St Benedict and was initiated by the Freemen of Shrewsbury. It also acts as a memorial to Edith Pargeter, who, under the pen name Ellis Peters, set a series of novels featuring Brother Cadfael, a fictional hero, in Shrewsbury Abbey and its surroundings. It is remarkably difficult to photograph as it is impossible to stand far enough back to frame it squarely.
