St Peter?
Pevsner says this is St Anthony abbot but I am unconvinced. The presence of the desert father and monk in such a setting is unnecessary and unexplained.
The head is strikingly like many depictions of St Peter and such things normally follow an iconic tradition and hence, I think it is he, the first bishop of Rome.
The glass dates to c.1529-30.
