Stained Glass Windows - St Mary - Yaxley, Suffolk - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

"The window nearest the pulpit has beautiful Victorian stained glass depicting Holman Hunt's famous Light of the World painting. The window was installed in memory of William Henry Sewell, son of a former curate and rector for 35 years from 1861-1896. It was Sewell who had the medieval building so beautifully restored, and he who gathered together the excellent stained glass.

There are 13th-15th century glass fragments in the east window, and more 15th century glass in the heads of the nave windows. Much of the glass came from continental Europe. - Look for a profile of Sewell in the loop of a letter 'P' in the inscription of the east window.

There is also a screen across the tower arch, made up of pieces of 17th century panelling and decorated with fragments of 14th and 15th century stained glass."
