Pharisee and Publican - Tewkesbury Abbey

Formerly in the entrance to Lady Chapel, this Hardman &Co. window of 1887 illustrates the story of the Pharisee giving alms to the poor, and the Publican displaying humility.

 

The inscription reads:

 

The publican would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast saying God be merciful to me a sinner.
