Stained Glass Windows - St Michael - Brent Knoll, Somerset - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

Stained glass windows in St Michael's church, Brent Knoll.

"The windows in the south wall have lost most of their stained glass, probably due to vandalism in the 16th or 17th century, but fragments of medieval glass can be seen in some of the small upper panels.

The window at the Baptistry end of the aisle, dedicated in 1972, was designed by James Crombie and is a colourful example of modern glass. The theme is the baptism of Jesus with related events showing the significance of Christian baptism. This window was the gift of Mrs. Gladys Lee Kimble of New Jersey, U.S.A. in memory of her parents and brother who lived in Brent Knoll."

"The cartoon illustrates the baptism of Jesus and panels showing the apostles dressed in emerald-green and blue. The faces, hands and feet of the subjects in the window are exquisitely painted. Many Christian symbols are incorporated in the design. Above Jesus, is a downward pointing dove which is a symbol of baptism. There are fish, a roundel of an Agnes Dei lamb with a flag, a sheaf of wheat and even a little red starfish which is a symbol of ‘spreading the word’, and red-winged seraphim angels. Four evangelists are shown as winged emblems in the small tracery lights."
