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. (ObjectID=3938 ImageID=7144) Original File Name=Mathern_DSC9245.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin.
