Musical angels in the, with the dove of the Holy Spirit in the uppermost tracery light. technique: stained glass artist: Henry Hughes Church of St Tysilio and St Mary, Meifod, Powys east wall of the chancel Signed H. Hughes London. As the window not signed with the name of the firm with which Henry Hughes is associated, perhaps this is an example of the independent work he continued to do even after forming a successful partnership with Thomas Ward in 1857.
