Felix, a Burgundian, was the apostle and first bishop of East Anglia, giving his name to the port of Felixstowe. He founded a cathedral at Soham in 650, probably because it was near the East Anglian royal palace at Exning. This window depicting him was placed in St Andrew's Church in 2002 in memory of Wallace Turner (1914-2000), founder of the well-known haulage firm Turner's of Soham and is based on a 15th-century wall painting uncovered in the chancel of the church during restoration in 1849.
