Prisoner of Conscience, Salisbury Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral's East Chapel Windows - The Gabriel Loire Window for Prisoners of Conscience in the Trinity Chapel.
The pointed Gothic lancets, as the tall and somewhat narrow windows are called, together constitute the cathedral's ''Prisoners of Conscience Window.'' The panels depict both 20th-century prisoners of conscience and the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, who is represented as a first-century prisoner of conscience. To the Very Rev. Sydney H. Evans, Dean of the Cathedral, who commissioned the windows and supervised their installation, they represent, ''the call of a man to a higher power, to the universal, uttered in a terrible moment of doubt and loneliness.''
