Key to Glass

There are a few fragments of medieval and Tudor stained glass in several windows of the Meering chapel and elsewhere, though only a little of this appears to be in its original position. Otherwise all windows with glass, except one, are of modern plain glass (either lozenge-, rectangular- or hexagonal-shaped tiles), except for 15, which is stained glass by Geoffrey Webb (1927). Some modern (19th century) signatures have been scratched into some tiles. While some original stonework and tracery survives in the window frames, most show signs of modern (mainly 19th century) restoration.
