The text held by the prophet at the top of the window reads 'O death I will be thy plagues' (Hosea 13:14).

Texts below the biblical scenes 'Their eyes were opened and they knew him' (Luke 24:31); 'Abide with us' (Luke 24:29).

The window is not visible from the main body of the church; photographs taken from above the roofed meeting room created in the original chancel.
