perhaps 1870s
Three-light window depicting the Crucifixion with standing figures of Mary and John at either side. Angels below and in a sexfoil above, between the alpha and omega.

technique: stained glass


Church of St Peter and St Meugan, Ruthin, Denbighshire
west wall of the south nave

The window has some similarities with the work of Heaton, Butler & Bayne. The central figure of Christ is not commensurate with the quality of the outer lights, and is probably a later replacement.

Text: 'I am the Resurrection and the Life' (John 11:25).

Given in memory of John Spier Hughes (died 1868) by his widow. The window looks more like stained glass of the 1870s than of around 1868.
