A glory - the combination of an oval radiance or aureola around the body together with a circular halo or nimbus - symbolises Jesus Christ.
The triple lancet east window is a triptych of the risen Lord at the empty tomb, based on Matthew 28. It was made by Whitefriars of London to replace the one destroyed by the fire which destroyed the original church in 1949.
