These glass panels look 17th century to me- and almost certainly not English. The allegorical figure on the left represents Faith or The Church. The panel on the left shows Joseph being grabbed at by Potiphar's wife.



Fragments of medieval glass. The roundel represents the interment of The Virgin

I love anything medieval. The colours of this particular roundel are gorgeous.

The 17th century glass paintings might well have been copied from contemporary prints.

Medieval and Romanesque...my favourite historical period for art and architecture. Gothic is grand also (in many ways) but if there are two churches side by side, one Romanesque and one Gothic, you know where to look for me first.

I'm the same. I don't altogether understand my devotion to the round-headed arch- but it's non-negotiable.
