The two panels are of St Michael and St George. They were designed by Louis Davis (1860-1941) and made in 1899. He was an English watercolourist, book illustrator and stained-glass artist. Davis was active in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Nikolaus Pevsner referred to him as the last of the Pre-Raphaelites. There are fine details in the faces.
