1823 including fragments from the late fourteenth century
Round-headed window made up of numerous medieval fragments. Various figures and fragments with coats of arms.
firm/studio: Betton & EvansChurch of St Deiniol, Worthenbury, Wrexhameast wall of the chancel
Some of the glass is likely to date from the late fourteenth century and is from Winchester College Chapel. The firm Betton & Evans, commissioned to restore the Tree of Jesse window at Winchester in 1822, found this impossible and made a copy of the window, retaining the original glass, which was reused here and elsewhere. Further fragments date to around 1500. Some of the glass came from Emral Hall (demolished 1775) and there are no doubt glass fragments from Betton & Evans' studio.
