This fragmentary but evocative window from Holy Cross Church, Pattishall, preserves elements of a 14th-century English stained glass narrative cycle. The surviving lights depict a kneeling orant figure with hands raised in prayer, and beside it, a group showing Christ with a disciple or saint, set beneath delicately painted Gothic architectural canopies.

The figures are rendered in a restrained palette of ruby, blue, and white glass, with details added in iron oxide pigment and silver stain, techniques typical of the Decorated Gothic period. The architectural framing, with its miniature canopies, pinnacles, and diapered backgrounds, reflects the influence of contemporary manuscript illumination and stone tracery design.

Although incomplete, the panels retain much of their spiritual intensity and aesthetic refinement. The juxtaposition of vibrant blue and ruby glass against clear quarries etched with star motifs creates a rhythm of light and shadow that would have animated the medieval interior.

This example stands among the many parish survivals of the great English glazing tradition of the 14th century, once widespread across the Midlands and East Anglia. The Pattishall fragments, preserved with their leadwork largely restored, provide valuable insight into the devotional imagery and craftsmanship of an era when stained glass served as both didactic scripture and luminous ornament.
