The Chapel, Brasenose Chapel


Once edited, this window lent itself to having the tie bars removed digitally – something I have not done for a little while as there have been a surprising large number of windows for which the tie bars are so much part of the windows design.

Dominic Price (2019) Richard Harrington Memorial Window [William Wailes, 1855 – The Chapel, Brasenose College]

The window featured here is a memorial for Richard Harington, Principal of the College (1842-53) who is buried in the antechapel.  Located in the chancel on the south side, it is one of the most recent within the chapel and features a host of biblical references.  Within the tracery, the roundel depicts Dives and Lazarus.  The three lights illustrate The Last Supper; Abraham and Melchisedek; The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes; The Crucifixion, and The Sacrifice of Isaac.
