Jesse Window, Llanrhaeadr
Image: © Eirian Evans Taken: 10 Nov 2007
A perfect Jesse window, which was first set in the wall in 1533. At the bottom reclines Jesse, with his son King David playing the harp directly above him. All the kings wear ermine. There are also some prophets included. During the Civil War, 1642, the window was taken out and hidden because the Parliamentarians often smashed coloured glass windows. It was restored in 1661.
