Stained Glass Windows - St Peter - Tickencote, Rutland - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

"The large amount of stained glass here leaves the interior of the church a tad on the dark side. However, the visitor is well catered for here with the church lighting spotlighting the chancel superbly.

The vaulting in the chancel leads up to a Norman ceiling boss depicting a monks head and two muzzled bears. It is thought that the vaulting and the ceiling boss and amongst the earliest surviving examples in the country. Stained glass here include windows depicting Jesus carrying his cross on the way to crucifiction, a glorious window showing the crucifiction itself and another showing the Ascension. The latter window is not of as high a quality as others in the church. One large window contains several smaller panels, including depictions of John The Baptist about to be beheaded and the Angel Gabriel, with long blue wings, appearing to the Virgin Mary. As is often the case, the Angel Gabriel is depicted with Lillies. Normally he is carrying the lillies, here though the Lillies are planted in a tub at the side of him! Elsewhere, St Andrew is pictured with the saltire cross on which he was later to be martyred and Jesus is depicted comforting a small child."
