The middle section of the window contains ten symbols of God. Clockwise from top left: IHS (the name of Jesus), Lamb of God, I Am, the Holy Spirit, Alpha and Omega, A stag (maybe referencing Psalm 42, thirsting for God), the Instruments of the Passion, the Chalice or Holy Grail, the Crown of Thorns, and a pelican (symbol of piety). One source says that much of the glass in the church is by William Wales, but I don't know whether that includes this window. See Image for the whole window.
