Noah, Abraham and Moses

  Noah, Abraham and Moses

Photo © Martin Crampin

Noah stands holding the ark, with a dove; Abraham holds a knife, with Isaac at his side, holding firewood in the form of a cross; while Moses holds a rod and the Ten Commandments. Family heraldry below, with inscription surrounded by vine decoration, and shields above with the thirty pieces of silver, and lance and sponge.



Church of All Saints, Newbridge-on-Wye
north wall of the sanctuary apse (window number: nIII)

The uppermost light has a roundel with the wheatsheaf (or garb, in heraldic terms), and Adrian Barlow cites this window as the first to include Kempe's signature explicitly, rather than discretely in a decorative part of the window.

The inscription records the gift of the window by Susan Catherine Venables, in memory of her husband Joseph Henry Venables (1813–1866).
