This two-light stained glass window, dating to around 1410, combines two devotional subjects of late medieval popularity: Saint Christopher in the left-hand light and Saint Anne with the Virgin Mary in the right-hand light. The pairing reflects contemporary concerns with protection, instruction, and the visible presence of holiness in everyday life.
