Summary

[edit]
Description

Also known as the Beckett Miracle Window.

The top panels depict Juliana of Rochester cured of Blindness, continuing down: Richard Sunieve of Egewerde cured of Leprosy (He was a Groom and Herdsmen and is seen with the Horses. His mother can be seen offering a tray to him in bed. He visits Beckett's tomb and is cured), Robert of Rochester/Philip Scot drowned whilst stoning Frogs ("Weeping the parents fish up the dead boy in the river"), He is revived after his mother promises to give silver thread to the length of his body to St Thomas shrine. The cure of Mad Matilda of Cologne (she went mad on hearing her brother had killed the man she loved - in a fit of anger she killed her baby) she is cured after being taken (forcefully!) to the shrine ("Aman Clamat Aredit Adsvasa"),

The lower part of the window depicts The Plague in the House of Sir Jordan Fitzeisulf - First the nurse to his 10 year old boy dies, then the boy himself, ("The lamentation is redoubled") his father pleads to St Thomas to save him if he does pilgrimage, and the boy is revived after being given "water of st Thomas". However he does not, and a leper is sent to warn him. Ignoring him, another of Sir Jordans sons was smitten, and several people in his house became unwell. Eventually the pilgrimage was made, and no doubt the monks got their money!
