Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxon

Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, High Street, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.. The window on the north wall of the chancel is a Tree of Jesse, a unique form of multi-media combining tracery, sculpture and stained glass (all 14th century in date) in a single theme. The scene shows how Christ was descended from King Davids ancestor Jesse, the surprisingly natural figure apparently slumbering on the windowsill at the foot of the tree. The figure of Christ at the top was severely damaged in Cromwellian times. Date: 1934
