late fifteenth century

Three-light window with patterned quarries and various medieval fragments in the upper central light. These include heraldry relating to the patron Bishop John Marshall of Llandaff, instruments of the Passion, and two fragments possibly from a depiction of the Trinity.

size: 46 cm (width of each light)

Church of St Tewdric, Mathern, Monmouthshire
west wall of the south aisle

Most of the glass probably dates from the patronage of John Marshall, who was bishop of Llandaff from 1478-96. Bishop Marshall increased the width of the aisles and filled the new windows with stained glass.
