Given by the incumbent, John Jones, vicar from 1888 to 1912, commemorating 24 years service.St Issell is attested as the father of Teilo in a variety of forms in the medieval genealogies of the saints, and Baring-Gould and Fisher prefer the form Usyllt, listing him as 'Confessor'. The window titles him as 'Ab[bot]' and 'Conf[essor]', and he wears a mitre, holding the church that bears his name.
