This area contains a pair of windows which were given in memory of the Honourable Evelyn Ashley, grandfather of Lady Edwina Mountbatten of Broadlands.
Just beyond the French glass, in the South Choir Aisle, is a fine window showing the child Jesus in the Temple, and over the altar and rood in St Anne's Chapel is the Epiphany Window. Both were made in 1910. The pictures are very detailed but rather dark. However, this is relieved by the ornamentation around the central images, which allows more light to come through.
These windows are the work of the studios of Kempe and Co, the new name for the firm after the death of Charles Eamer Kempe in 1907. Kempe’s usual signature had been a small wheatsheaf hidden among the decoration on the edge of the design. On his death in 1907, Walter Tower took over the business and added his signature of a tower in the centre of the Kempe wheatsheaf. This is the image which can be found in the bottom left of both of these windows.
Turn left into St Ethelflaeda's Chapel.
