This cycle of seven stained glass lancet windows forms a coherent devotional programme combining the Four Evangelists with a Marian group centred on the Virgin and Child. The windows share a consistent stylistic language and iconographic approach characteristic of Gouffault’s parish work.

The Four Evangelists

Four lancets depict the Evangelists, each distinguished by a specific attribute or action, rather than by uniform book-holding figures:

• St Matthew ⓘ is shown writing in a book, emphasising authorship and inspired testimony, accompanied by the winged man.

• St Mark ⓘ holds the loaves and fishes, linking his Gospel to Christ’s miracles and themes of spiritual nourishment, with the lion as his emblem.

• St Luke ⓘ is represented painting the Virgin and Child, reflecting the traditional association of Luke with sacred image-making; his symbol is the ox.

• St John the Evangelist ⓘ holds a cup, recalling the legend of the poisoned chalice and signifying divine protection and theological insight, accompanied by the eagle.

Marian group

Three further lancets form a Marian axis:

• The central lancet depicts the Virgin and Child, Mary presenting the Christ Child frontally. The composition is framed by symbolic inscriptions and architectural motifs, reinforcing Marian titles and intercession.

• St James the Greater appears as a pilgrim apostle, identified by his staff. A ship above the figure alludes to missionary travel and the spread of the Gospel.

• St John the Baptist ⓘ is shown as ascetic forerunner, holding a cross-staff and a bowl associated with baptism.
  In the head of the lancet, a bird in flight appears with a scroll inscribed “Ecce Agnus Dei”. This functions as a symbolic proclamation of John’s testimony to Christ rather than a literal Agnus Dei, and may be read as an emblem of heralding or renewal.

Together, the seven lancets demonstrate Gouffault’s preference for clear symbolism, narrative differentiation, and doctrinal coherence, adapted for a rural parish setting.
