The West Window, created in 1964 by Charles Blakeman, is reputedly the largest stained glass window in London, with a glazed area of more than 500 square feet. It is dedicated to The English Martyrs. Five martyrs, each holding a palm, stand underneath the Tyburn gallows. The cross, merging with the central upright of the gallows, carries a triumphant Christ. |
