		<description>I love the windows :-) I found all of the windows difficult to photograph due to the light. The Judas window was the most difficult to photograph...

This is what Whistler was trying to portray in the Judas window:

&quot;In February 1987, Laurence Whistler wrote a letter to the Rector offering to give the church a &#039;thirteenth window&#039;. In his letter he made the point that many medieaeval churches often have uncouth and unholy figures sculptured on the outside, in corbels, as if in contrast with the holy scenes inside. He went on to refer to the thirteenth window near the south east corner, glazed but walled up, adding that Judas was the thirteenth disciple. He went on to say that he would like to engrave on that window, to be seen only from the outside, &#039;a shadowy figure, not clearly defined, but sketchy,of Judas hanging with the thirty pieces of silver falling from his hand and turning into flowers on the ground.&quot; That is the point: the hint that even Judas might, at the moment of death, have sought and found God&#039;s forgiveness.

The information is quoted from a leaflet in the church. The window is so shadowy that it is very difficult to show the flowers that are springing from the fallen silver pieces, but they are there :-) I love the window :-)</description>

		<description>If the last pic is the Judas window I can see why it was rejected; it doesn&#039;t look like &#039;the theme of forgiveness&#039; unless there are details which escape my dim eyes.

The other windows are wonderful especially the Alpha/Omega one :)</description>
