East window St Peter's E Blatchington

East window St Peter's E Blatchington
This is an example of the mid-19th century style of stained glass. To me it harks back to medieval windows, particularly in the figures. Much of Britain's stained glass had been smashed by the puritans in the mid-1600s, and the Georgians didn't seem that interested in replacing it. This is one of the earliest windows for miles around here, despite having many churches that date back to Norman and even Saxon times.
The stone of the window is quite light, but when photographing the back-lit glass, the stone is in shade or even silhouette.
