Five-light window with scenes from the Life of Christ at the centre and fourteen groups of saints and characters from the Bible in the outer lights. The scenes at the centre are (from bottom): the Nativity, the Crucifixion, Christ risen from the grave, and Christ in Majesty seated on a rainbow. In the left-hand light are prophets from the Old Testament, as well as Moses, David and John the Baptist. In the next light are the twelve disciples with child martyrs below. The figures in the right-hand lights are of saints but not all of the figures are identifiable by their attributes.
