Sewter identifies the figures in the upper tier as Enoch, King David, Salvator Mundi, Solomon, and Elijah and those in the lower tier as St. Thomas, Charity, St. Michael weighing souls, Justice, and St. Paul. He cites B. F. L. Clarke to the effect that the window was a memorial to the 6th Earl of Mayo, Viceroy of India (II, 219). [See below for additional information.]
