More about this scene
Inside this expansive parish church the many signs of the Early English era are manifest in the pulpit, for instance, which is inscribed and dated 1631 on a large arched panel with a good helping of arabesque. The stall backs are fine pedimented panels dating from the 17th century, and came from Oxford Cathedral. Stained glass in the east window represents the Last Judgement, and is described as 'a noble but somewhat languid composition'. Most of the figures are in white robes and the angels have wine- coloured wings; the sky is dark blue. It is the work of Morris and Co, which is Burne-Jones 1876, as is some of the other stained glass. One example by Kempe of 1893 is said to be very feeble compared to the Morris work.
