I love still being a learner. Thank you! The windows are spectacular. <br />Since she was a librarian and nun, I wonder why she's shown wearing a crown.

In 708 her brother Cenred had succeeded as king of Mercia; he now decided to move his sister's body to a more conspicuous place within the church at Hanbury. Her body was found to be miraculously intact.
