On the left, the dignified figure of Isaiah, above him the scroll with, "The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise thee"- a quote from the Te Deum.
The centre light shows the great apostles Peter and Paul. St. Peter is marked by his bearing of the keys (Matthew 16, verse19), and a book inscribed "S Petrus Apostulus Ihesu Christi"(St. Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ). St Paul is marked by the great sword, which alludes to his death as a Roman citizen by beheading. Above them are the words, "The glorious company of the apostles praise thee," again from the Te Deum.
The light on the right shows St. Stephen, the first Martyr. He wears a deacon’s stole and a dalmatic, in the folds of which are the stones with which he was stoned to death. He also bears a martyr’s palm and above him is another verse of the Te Deum .. "The noble army of martyrs praise thee."
Below the centre light is a picture of St. Bernard of Cluny, a mitred abbot writing the famous "Rhythm of the Celestial Country." In the lights on each side of him are two verses of that work, of which the hymn "Jerusalem the Golden" is the best-known part.
In the small upper lights angels bear on scrolls verses from "The Song of the Three Children" which they sang in the burning, fiery furnace, better known by its use as a Canticle at Matins .. "O ye angels of the Lord, bless ye the Lord…etc."
NB. This window from the Kempe studios is by his nephew Tower – note the motif of the wheat sheaf containing a small tower on the left of the window.
