Henry Holiday Window - a photo on Flickriver

            Ascension of Christ,attended by angels, with apostes and Mary below, with Christ blessing the children ('Suffer little children to come unto me') at the base.

Glass in the Powell's refurbished south transept at Buckland.

Holiday's work is particularly well represented in this church, both by this and the five light east window, which must be amongst his finest works.

Holiday, who was at this time chief designer for Powells, was a prolific artist, and elements of the compositions in this window are used elsewhere, notably the lower scene of Christ blessing the children which can also be seen in the south choir aisle of Ely Cathedral.

Much of the tracery in this church was removerd in the late 18th century (possibly in order to increase light as much as a corner-cutting repair!), giving the rather stark, simple  mullioned effect we see today. 

This has, however, had the beneficial result of liberating the stained glass artist, enabling him to fill the entire expanse of the window are with large-scale scenes, a most unusual opportunity in a gothic window.
