The East Gable Window

This is another difficult window to photograph as it is partially hidden by the gallery and the ceiling. The complete window may be viewed from the gallery itself but, there, the window is very close to the camera and a wide-angle lens is necessary to photograph the whole window or even just the tall central window. A trickier solution is to straddle the balcony of the gallery and lean out into space while holding the camera at arms length – without falling down into the aisle or dropping the camera. Some of the photos were taken in that way.

There are three windows in the east gable: the Pelican window on the left, the Sacred Heart window in the middle, and the Agnus Dei window on the right.

A dedication is written across the bottom of the three windows but this is impossible to see in any single image of the three windows and is difficult to see even in separate images as it is obscured by internal protective glazing. The dedication is shown below in the three photos.
