Prodigal Son Window, Newton Regis
South nave window by Roger Fifield 1988, depicting the parable of the Prodigal Son.
St Mary's dominates the village of Newton Regis and serves the most northerly parish in Warwickshire.
The building itself is aisleless but with a later clerestorey and quite light inside, being mainly plain glazed except for the odd medieval fragment here and there and two recent windows by Warwickshire based artist Roger Fifield.
The outstanding medieval feature here however is on the north side of the sanctuary, a highly unusual 14th century priest's tomb in a recess with a slab in high relief portraying a praying bust of the deceased amidst canopywork (inhabited by angels) with two kneeling mourners below, a unique composition as far as I know, worn but still enjoyable.
