The Great Jesse Window
The great stained-glass window of 1877 at the west end was designed by Alexander Gibbs. It depicts the Tree of Jesse, inspired by the 14th-century Jesse Tree window at Wells Cathedral in Somerset. It replaced an earlier 1858 window designed by Alfred Gerente.
Below this is an 1899 tile panel designed by Butterfield and painted by Alexander Gibbs that depicts three Old Testament scenes: Moses lifting up the serpent (which symbolises the Crucifixion); Abraham offering his only son Isaac (as God gave his Son for our sins); and Melchizedek, priest of God.
