Background InformationThe windows have been designed to follow in the same order as the events are related in the Bible and should be read from left to right. On the North wall, the theme is the Old Testament and the New Testament on the East wall. In each section of the window are clearly identifiable symbols. Although they are separate they are brought together through the drawing and use of colour which passes through the vertical mullions.
