Tracery. At the left and right are IHC monograms, with the Agnus Dei and Dove in between.
Left-hand light. Christ stilling the waves. This is probably an allusion to circumstances of the dedicatee’s death, at sea in a yachting accident.
Centre light. The Crucifixion. The figures are somewhat faded, but on the left in blue is probably the Blessed Virgin Mary, with Mary Magdalene kneeling and the disciple John on the right.
Right-hand light. The Resurrection. Christ rises from the tomb, and below Him are the frightened Roman soldiers who were guarding the it.
