	Designed by Burne-Jones and the work executed by his friend William Morris in 1879 these two windows are at the Chancel End of the South Wall. The first shows Moses and David in the top two panels. The lower two panels depict "the repose in the desert" and "the adoration of the wise men". The second shows St. Peter and St.Paul in the top two panels. The lower two depict "the calling of St Peter" and "the miraculous drought of fishes".
