The Glass

The Cathedral has magnificent stained glass windows, including fine Gabriel Loire windows. The most recent glass is his Christ in Triumph over Darkness and Evil in the Great West Window in memory of Earl Mountbatten. The centre light was erected in 1982; the two side panels on the left and right were added in 2001.

You can read all about the Great West Window and see close-up views of it.

On either side of the nave are eight Gabriel Loire windows on the theme of the creation.

Over the South Transept is the Rose Window and in the centre, Christ in majesty, clothed in purple, the colour of the passion and, radiating outwards, cherubim and seraphim, the angels, and the apostles, prophets, martyrs and saints.
