Stained glass windows in St Andrew's church, Loxton.

"The northern window in the north chapel houses panels of medieval painted glass consisting of two rectangular panels and two tracery heads containing a group of disparate fragments of stained glass. These are briefly described by Christopher Woodforde in his assessment of the glass of the fourteenth century in Somerset,
‘The north and east windows of the vestry in Loxton church are filled with
fragments of glass painted in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. To
the fourteenth century belong grisaille, painted with sprays of oak and ivy,
and some notable border-work of various patterns.’"
