"The main window in the south wall of this transept is quite modern.
The glass was formerly in the nave windows and it is an abstract approach to a subject.
At the base is the Virgin and Child; the panes to the left and right are little reminders of kindliness in Christian life.
In the main section is a tree, rather like a family tree. This is a common device, known beyond the faith of Christianity.
The tree grows, it is strong; it meets a sphere of blue which represents the 'Water of Life' and growth.
It is a reminder of the font situated below, and the Sacrament of water in our entry to the Church's life.

"John Hayward, who was very much a resident artist,
assembled this window which is resplendent with colour.
As well as the 'Water of Life', there is the Cross with all its menace and cruelty.
Above the Cross there is the 'Crown of Thorns'; the dart-shaped symbols represent the unwinding of the grave clothes:
which are, therefore, a sign of triumph and Resurrection.
This is so much a recurring theme in the Cathedral
-- the victory of Christ -- His Glory and Majesty."
