Presentation - Byfield, Northamptonshire.

This two-light window, executed by Kempe & Tower in 1921, depicts the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, a subject long favoured by the firm for its devotional clarity and balanced figural grouping.

Left-hand light:
The Virgin Mary is shown kneeling in prayerful humility, her posture inward and composed. Behind her, attendant figures are arranged beneath an architectural canopy, reinforcing the Temple setting and providing depth without distracting from the principal action.
