The text held by the prophet at the top of the window reads 'I know that my redeemer liveth' (Job 19:25).
Text beneath the scene in the left-hand light: 'Why seek ye the living among the dead' (Luke 24:5), and beneath the scene in the right-hand light 'Touch me not' (John 20:17).
The window is not visible from the main body of the church; photographs taken from above the roofed meeting room created in the original chancel. (ObjectID=5506 ImageID=10774) Original File Name=Porthmadog_DSC0249-71C.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 04-11-2024
