This stained glass window at Market Bosworth, created by Martin Travers Dunn, beautifully represents the Nativity in a serene and devotional composition. It consists of three tall lancet panels surmounted by tracery lights, which together radiate both warmth and reverence.
In the central panel, the Virgin Mary stands in calm adoration, robed in soft blue and white, tenderly presenting the Christ Child. To the left, a young shepherd cradles a lamb, symbolizing innocence and Christ’s future role as the Good Shepherd. On the right, another shepherd holds a staff and gazes upward, his face illuminated by faith and wonder.
Dunn’s style here blends traditional Gothic structure with mid 20th-century sensitivity.
