The window is the gift of Sir W.T. Lewis, given in memory of his mother and sister. This is one of the earliest windows commissioned by the donor, who commissioned many windows for different churches in the south Wales coalfield and in Pembrokeshire. His armorial bearings are displayed in the upper trefoil light.
The window was moved from its original position in the north wall of the north aisle in about 1935. (ObjectID=4656 ImageID=8802) Original File Name=Merthyr_DSC6958A.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 26-08-2020
