Joshua Price's ten famous enamelled glass windows originally from Cannons Palace and now in Great Witley church are renowned for their craftsmanship and beauty and are possibly unique as a set in the whole world. They each depict a New Testament biblical scene (with the exception of one from the Old Testament) and most of these are straightforward and self-explanatory. However, talking to churchwarden Ian Holland, it has recently been suggested by fellow churchwarden Peter Heighway that the depiction of the window entitled "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" may in actual fact be something quite different in scriptural terms, and may possibly be based on the miracle which saw Christ walking upon the water.
We will have to wait and see as to what evidence, if any, emerges from this intriguing claim, but if it is true then a considerable amount of history may have to be amended. Watch this space.
