1898
Two-light window.

technique: stained glass

firm/studio: Clayton & Bell

Church of St Cyngar, Llangefni, Anglesey
south wall of the chancel

Text with angels above: 'To do good and to distribute forget not' (Hebrews 13:16).

Given in memory of Mrs M.E. Williams, who was married to the rector.


The two scenes show acts of mercy, although the scene in the left-hand light is not clear: a woman gives a large piece of fabric to a child, which probably represents 'clothing the naked'. The women attending a man in bed in the right-hand light depicts the visiting of the sick.
