  • I think all the 14th glass in this church is by the same hand that did the Crucifixion at Preston, nr. Dymock. That panel may even be the missing one here. Anyway the ornament and character of the drawings is exactly similar, also colour schemes much like. Probably all these 14th glass up the Severn comes from same source. Bristol or Glos.?
