Object history
In an account book of the firm is an entry dated 9 May 1850 recording payment to the artist for cartoons for two clerestory windows for the church at Ottery St. Mary. J. D. Coleridge's paper on the restoration of this church, published in Vol.13 of The Ecclesiologist, 1852, records that Pugin designed the two eastern-most windows in the clerestrory of the chancel, north and south.
