The window contains the oldest figurative glass in Wales. The figure in the left-hand light shares similarities with work at Merton College, Oxford, of about 1305, while other parts are close to work of the 1330s at Grappenhall, Cheshire. There are also some later medieval fragments which have beed added into the window, perhaps of early sixteenth century date.
