about 1865 Three-light window with scenes representing the six acts of mercy. technique: stained glass firm/studio: Joseph Bell Church of St Peter, Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire south wall of the south aisle Given in memory of Charles Morgan (died 1833) and his wife Magdalene (died 1844) by their granddaughter M. Morris. The scenes are all conventional although one of them includes a figure holding keys and another holding a book. Might this suggest a biblical scene with Peter and John?  (ObjectID=4891 ImageID=9403) Original File Name=CarmarthenStPeter_DSC2522B.jpg
