Hi, fantastic site.
Have taken a load of windows photos on a recent visit to Wales. When looking at this entry, I notice you say 1902–
The window says This window was given in 1901?

Editor's response: Thanks for spotting this. The Pevsner notes a date of 1902 and attributes three windows, including this one, to Joseph Bell & Son. Looking at the entry again, the date may refer only to the south chancel window, so there is every reason to believe that the east window was indeed given in 1901 as stated in the inscription, and perhaps the other one with angels.
