Photo © Martin Crampin
1912
Two-light window with standing figures of saints.
size: 40 cm (width of each light)
firm/studio: C.E. Kempe & Co Ltd
Church of St Issell, St Issells, Pembrokeshire
south wall of the chancel
Signed with the Kempe and Tower emblem.
Given by the incumbent, John Jones, vicar from 1888 to 1912, commemorating 24 years service.
St Issell is attested as the father of Teilo in a variety of forms in the medieval genealogies of the saints, and Baring-Gould and Fisher prefer the form Usyllt, listing him as 'Confessor'. The window titles him as 'Ab[bot]' and 'Conf[essor]', and he wears a mitre, holding the church that bears his name.
