Much of the glass is likely to have come from the two east windows, perhaps with later glass brought in by restorers. Mostyn Lewis identified several possible subjects from the fragments, including an early Tree of Jesse from the late fourteenth century, further glass of about 1460, with fragments of a crucifixion and apostles from about 1500. Later fragments may date from the late eighteenth century, or more likely the mid-nineteenth century, some of which appear to the work of David Evans.
Glass from the church at Caerwys was also listed among the collections of the Powysland Museum in 1942. (ObjectID=2183 ImageID=5432) Original File Name=Caerwys_DSC5594.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 18-09-2018
