The central motif of this impressive window is a man at seas in a boat and is most likely to be a reference to Saint Andrew’s pre-apostolic trade as a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee. The boat sports a saltire which depict a cross in the style of the cross on which Andrew was crucified.
There are 14 smaller circular window around the large central motif. The top-2 images are of the Sun and Moon and the other 12 represent the signs of the zodiac Each of these windows has an image and the words for the sign.
It is recorded that the large central section of the window was donated to St. Andrew’s by Archdeacon Moore’s brother, William F Moore of Cronkbourne, although it could be a later addition.
