About the Chancel Windows
Originally installed in 1846, the hand-painted glass chancel window measures 21 1/2 feet high by 9 feet wide and is composed of 36 panels containing over 4,000 individual pieces of blown glass. It is considered one of the important early works produced by the Edinburgh based Scottish firm of Ballantine and Allan that also created the now lost windows for the Houses of Parliament in London. It is one of the few examples of that firm’s early work that survive today.
