The main lights of the east window contain 14th century glass clearly from another location (a good century older than the present structure of the window) and thus presumed to have originated in the now vanished but once neighbouring abbey church. The figures depict various ancestors of Christ from what would have been a 'Tree of Jesse' window. A few have been restored in the Victorian period with some new heads (mostly in the lower row) but otherwise this is a rare and substantially well preserved scheme. The traceries at the head of the window contain a mixture of 15th century glass and more 14th century heads perhaps from the same series.
The church of St Mary the Virgin at Merevale is one of Warwickshire's most significant medieval churches, and a rarity in having originally served as the gate chapel ('capella ante portas') to the adjoining Merevale Abbey, once a major Cistercian monastery but now completely vanished, it's site lying beneath the neighbouring Abbey Farm.
The church itself is of an unusual layout, with a short two-bay chamber for a nave (it's aisles demolished long ago) and a far grander four-bay Perpendicular chancel with aisles (it's plan seemingly a reversal of the usual parish church layout).
There are medieval tombs and the old rood screen (re-sited at the west end) but the best feature here is the ancient glass, principally the 14th century kings from a Jesse-Tree now in the east window, that are believed to have come from the Abbey. In the aisles are further fragments of medieval glass, including early 16th century elements original to this building.
The church is sadly normally kept locked without keyholder information, thus a visit will have to be pre-arranged. I am hugely grateful to the Revd Carole Young for so kindly giving up her time for me here.
The Prophet is kinda used to be in a spotlight. She's the fifth person in Imperial Protection list, no jokes. And even on simple pass card shot the Prophet looks sweet and relaxed - as photo diva should be.
