Any ideas what this shows? The guy on the right seems to wear a roman helmet, but I doubt that a c.12 carver would know what that looked like, and it's anyone's guess what the left hand figure is holding. Maybe it's Pilate washing his hands ?

By Worral to a Lonsdale design of c.1895 , this window is indicative of the problems from which the Burges extension suffers, i.e.the death of Billy Burges 12 years before building began.
