Stained Glass windows in St.Mary the Virgin, Dodford, Northants. - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

The main East Window in the chancel depicts Christ on the Road to Calvary. Christ stumbles whilst carrying his cross, there are all the attendant throng, roman soldiers with the tools of crucifixion, nails, a ladder, the Jewish patriarch, the crowds, and Mary weeping. Above is the quote 'GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS' - John ch15,vv13. Above angels and cherubs fly.
The window has suffered damage in the past with several of the faces needing replacement but the painting has not been very good and the repairs are almost tollaly blank.

At the east end of the north aisle is a memorial window to three members of the Hewitt family who lived in Dodford in the C19th. The theme is the 'Birth of Christ' depicting the shepherds being told of Christ's birth by the angel, 'GLORY to GOD in the HIGHEST', Christ's birth in the stable, 'AND ON EARTH PEACE', and the three wise men, 'GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN' - Luke ch2,vv14. Above the large panels are six small panels with the words 'The Gentiles Shall Come to Thy Light and Kings to the Brightness of Thy Rising' - Isaiah ch60.vv3.

A third window worth noting is a small lancet at the very west of the church in the ringing chamber depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a window dedicated to the short life of 'Mary Lilian Thompson, Born and Died 1868'.
