A beautiful stained glass east window by Patrick Reyntiens, who also created the more famous baptistry window at Coventry Cathedral.
"The chancel window appears at first to be a complete abstraction, but as you examine it you see that it is a collection of scenes from the Old and New Testaments, organised in a relatively conventional style. The central image is the Resurrection, flanked by the Crucifixion and the Ascension. At the bottom is the serpent and staff of Moses, and Jonah being swallowed by a whale. Up at the top is the Lamb of God seated on the heavenly throne.
A quieter set of images fills the east window of the south aisle, rather more in the style of the previous decade. This depicts the Risen Christ, flanked on one side by Mary Magdalene meeting Christ in the garden, and on the other by Christ and his comanions on the road to Emmaus."
