probably sixteenth century
A pair of single-light windows with remnants of painted, stained and pot metal glass arranged in a series of diamond and roundel shapes, with further pieces at the sides. Some figures, architecture and fragmentary scenes are discernible, including the beheading of John the Baptist.
size: 48 cm (width of each light); 24 cm (diameter of roundels)Church of St Michael, Cwmystwyth, Ceredigionchancel, either side of the sanctuary (window number: sII, nII)
These fragments are all that remains of the panels from the collection of Thomas Johnes. They were set in the east window of the church, probably in 1805, and thereby escaped the disastrous fire at Hafod of 1807, but not the fire in the church of 1932.
