Five-light window with the Crucified Christ in front of a mandorla. Mary Magdalene at his feet, Mary and John, Longinus and other disciples/followers in attendance. Roundel heads of the saints Peter and David above.

technique: stained glass

firm/studio: Bell & Almond

Church of St Peter, Lampeter, Ceredigion
east wall of the chancel

The glass in the upper, and perhaps the lower, parts of the window were installed in 1870 in time for the opening of the church, and were executed by Bell & Almond. The pictorial scenes were added in 1875, probably also by the firm. If so, this represents the largest known work by the partnership in Wales.
