A collection of 20th century stained glass in St Mary's church, Compton Abbas.
The west window contains 3 lights dedicated to (left to right):
Annie Marie Cryer (1949)
Agnes Henrietta Hawkes (1908)
William Alfred Cryer (1940)
The small window in the side chapel shows Mary hearing the news that she is to be the mother of Jesus. The background shows Compton Down, the old church tower (with the pear tree which grew on top of it for many years) and the preaching cross which stands next to it. On the Down are pale streaks commemorating the moss gatherers who rolled moss downhill, making it into balls which they sold to florists in London.
