Behold the Handmaiden of the Lord.’Athanasius, John Chrysostom, Stephen, Alban, Patrick, Columba, Augustine, Aidan, Chad, Ven’Bede, Francis and Hugh. • The window shown at right is just West of the North transept. The main feature here is the Burne Jones window called ‘Dies Domini’ which means ‘the Day of the Lord’. It depicts a youthful Christ coming in judgement, borne on the wings of four angels. The window was commissioned for Christ Church in 1906 and installed in 1907, the gift of John and Essie Wood. The window is remarkable for its sheer loveliness.
