[Magdalen] Saint Michael and All Angels.

[Michael Bishop]

One of my churches, All Saints', Dalbury has a panel of stained glass 
depicting St Michael. This window, assessed by the experts as early 12th 
or late 11th century is, we are told, the oldest panel of stained glass 
in Britain - and close the oldest in Europe (apparently there is a piece 
a little older somewhere in Germany).
