XXVII. Stained Glass in Wetheral Church, near Carlisle.

The Virgin and Child. This is a specimen of late English glass, probably

not much earlier than the beginning of the reign of Henry VII. There are

only two kinds of glass used, one greenish almost colourless, and the

other a yellow, deepened by the addition of the same colour. The figure

is not deficient in feeling, and some good treatment in the drapery is

easily discovered. It is about 2½ feet in height.
