The Chapel, Balliol College


It made sense to ‘reassemble’ two windows back into one to tell better the biblical story.  Thus the two separate images below will feature next to each other in the book.

The four lights that comprise the two windows on the northern side of the east end. These show the Hezekiah’s Illness and Recovery (2 Kings 20:1, 2 Chronicles 32:24 and Isaiah 38:1) and were originally installed in the second chapel as a single window.

Inscription: (precluded from this image)
PETRUS WENTWORTH SACRAE THEOLOG. PROFESSOR ET HUJUS COLLEGII SOCIUS, D.D. 1637.
Peter Wentworth, Professor of Sacred Theology and Fellow of this College, Doctor of Divinity 1637.
