North Aisle 1275 to 1325 : The Harewell window
The West window has a double lancet with diamond opening circa 1280. Geometric tracery with quatrefoils circa 1290 can be seen in the Eastern windows of the aisle. The East window of the North aisle has an example of the more advanced tracery circa 1300 1325 which used ogee curves and intersecting mullions. This window is now known as the Harewell window as the descendents of John de Harewell, 1320-1386, donated the cost of having the window restored and additional stained glass added in 1981.
The crest of John de Harewell is in the centre of the window
It was in 1636 that Thomas Foulk Harewell and his brother sailed as colonists to Virginia and over 500 of their descendents were eventually traced all over the USA by J. M. Fletcher and his committee. A large contingent came to the church for the dedication service on the 20th September 1981. Since then many have visited every year to view "our" window.
