about 1503

Four-light window filled with fragments of medieval glass. The fragments indicate the presence of a crucifixion scene and a set of apostles.



Church of St Cynfarch and St Mary, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, Denbighshire
south wall (window number: sIV)

A piece of inscription indicates a date of 1503, although the date may not necessarily be that of all of the glass. The glass probably originated in the two east windows of the church, and was probably assembled here at the time of the restoration of the church in 1871-2. The two east windows were filled with new glass in the 1870s.
