Description:Scene representing Jesus Christ being taken down from the cross following his death by crucifixion. At the bottom of the scene, St John comforts the Virgin Mary. The figure in the red hat above the cross may be Joseph of Arimathea.
It is one of a series of double windows located in the chancel of St Andrew's Church, featuring a series of stained glass scenes. Designed in a medieval style, these 19th century windows depict the events of the Easter story otherwise known as 'the Passion'.
The windows were produced by the workshop of William Wailes (1808-1881), a noted stained glass artist whose work can also be found in the East Window at St Editha's, Tamworth and the huge West Window at Gloucester Cathedral.
