St Anne
detail from Medieval Fragments
Photo © Martin Crampin
about 1460 and 1500
Two lights mounted in front of a two-light window composed of fragments.
Church of Corpus Christi, Tremeirchion, Denbighshire
south wall of the nave
A range of fragments which suggest a number of subjects. Most prominent is a female figure in the right-hand light, thought to be St Anne. The figure has been put forward as the mirror image of a depiction of St Anne at All Saints, York, in a scene where she is teaching Mary to read. The York window is dated 1440, and this fragment is probably later than this date. The similarity with the mid-fifteenth century work at Over Peover (Cheshire) is more certain.
Also present are bones from the foot of a crucifixion, a devil from either a doom scene or depiction of Michael, a wheel perhaps suggesting Catherine, fragments of the creed suggesting the presence of apostles, and angels.
