Five-light window with central light depicting Michael with sword and chain standing over the defeated winged male figure of Satan, his green dragon's tail extending out into the adjacent light. Family heraldry below and figures in the tracery above: Moses and Aaron, Peter and Paul, the four evangelists and their symbols, the pelican feeding her chicks and the Agnus Dei.
size: 57 cm (width of each light)
Church of St Michael, Abergele, Conwy
north wall of the north chancel
Dedication: 'In memory of the Lloyd family now represented by Lloyd H. Bamford Hesketh eldest son of Frances Lloyd heiress of Gwrych.'
The script at the bottom of the window, giving the dedication, is similar in style and execution to an earlier window by Clutterbuck at Llangernyw.
