probably mid-nineteenth century

Single-light window with standing figure, with Christ holding the vine that frames the image.



Church of St Clement, Briton Ferry, Neath Port Talbot
west wall of the north aisle

The design does not fill the window, and even though the design appears to fit at the top, the plain glass below suggests that the stained glass might have been moved from elsewhere. It is unlike any other windows in the church and, given its style, could predate the building of the church in 1866. However, the church was built on a new site in the 1860s.

This window was originally in the Central lancet of the North Transept before the St Michael window was installed as a war memorial.

I am led to beleive the other windows had coloured glass with vines filling the other two lancets.
