This window contains two significant pre-Reformation figural panels depicting St Peter (left) and St Simeon with the Christ Child (right).

These works represent some of Brown’s finest ecclesiastical contributions and exemplify his distinctive approach to figural design, which differs markedly from that of colleagues such as Burne-Jones .
