Stained glass windows in St Colanus' church, Colan.
"In 1884, in honour of the vicar who served the parish for 34 years, an etched stained-glass painting of the Ascension was installed in the east window. A window in the tower has a stained glass fitted in honour of the Reverend Mathew Nixon Broughman for his service to the parish as Vicar from 1872 to 1881. The Four Gospels fitted on the window of the west wall have inscriptions in honour of John James Murley and William Paget. The window bears the Arms of Truro and the Arms of Exeter, representing the corresponding dioceses. The four panels of the window also display: Saint Mary, Patron Saint of Truro Cathedral; St Colan holding the Church in his hands; and St Peter, Patron Saint of Exeter Cathedral."
