Dedication: 'This window was erected by Thomas Jones Bistre Farm in memory of his late uncle Edward Jones who died June 7th 1912 aged 81'. This is a striking reinterpretation of Holman Hunt's painting. Here Christ is shown in the panoply of a priest, rather than as a humble suppliant.  (ObjectID=200 ImageID=188) Original File Name=_MG_1290.jpg
