16th
Century Stained Glass Fine sixteenth century stained glass set in the window above the Altar of the Jesus Chapel. Although there has been considerable debate about who designed the glass, many experts now agree that the work is most probably by Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg. The glass panels were originally in the church of St Ouen at Rouen, probably part of a much larger window. They were brought to England towards the end of the 18th century by a member of the Neave family. The glass remained in their possession for seventy years until it was placed in this window in the early 1880's in memory of Sir Arundell Neave.
