St Donat
Photo © Martin Crampin
about 1862
Standing figure of Donat at the centre of a three-light window, surrounded by heraldry and symbols including two monograms of the deceased's initials. A scene below shows the saint on a boat holding a book and making a blessing, surrounded by a group.
Church of St Donat, St Donats, Vale of Glamorgan
east wall of the chancel
Given in memory of Edward Stradling Nicholl Carne (1849–62). The arms of the Stradlings are shown in the left-hand light, the arms of the Carnes, depicting the pelican in her piety, are on the right.
There is some confusion over the identity of Donat. The church guide states that the name comes from Donams, a monk from Ireland or Scotland, who became Bishop of Fiesole, in Italy. He died in 874 and was a patron saint of travellers, which would explain the scene below.
