St Dunawd, St Deiniol and St Collen
from Tree of Jesse and Saints
1914
Five-light window depicting the Tree of Jesse flanked by two three-light windows depicting saints.
Jesse is flanked by David and Solomon, with Abraham and Ruth in the outer lights. Above Old Testament Kings kneel in adoration of Christ seated in Majesty, holding a book with the text 'The word was God' (John 1:1). In the outer lights are the figures of Mary and Joseph, with scenes showing the Annunciation and the Nativity. In the tracery are two trumpeting angels with the text 'He ever liveth' (Hebrews 7:25), with seraphim, the dove of the Holy Spirit and the alpha and omega.
The patron of the church, Giles, is depicted with the Welsh saints Asaph and David, with Dunawd, Deiniol and Collen in the right-hand window.
