This richly coloured stained-glass window, installed in 1888 by John Hardman and Company, portrays the miracle of the Feeding of the Five Thousand, one of the most beloved narratives from the Gospels. The scene unfolds across three lights, composed with the clarity and harmony characteristic of Hardman’s late 19th-century ecclesiastical style.

At the centre, Christ is shown seated amid a verdant landscape, his right hand raised in blessing as he receives the offering of five loaves and two fishes from a kneeling boy. His expression is serene yet commanding, his scarlet and gold robes radiating divine authority and compassion. To the left, St Andrew gestures toward the child, the evangelist’s subtle but poignant reminder that faith often begins in humble giving. His blue mantle and gentle posture draw the viewer’s attention toward the central act of offering.

On the right, St Philip appears in dialogue with Jesus, his thoughtful expression reflecting the moment of questioning faith before the miracle’s unfolding. Behind him stand figures of disciples and followers, rendered in soft natural tones, their faces illuminated by quiet wonder.

The window exemplifies the theological artistry of the Gothic Revival, combining narrative clarity with moral symbolism. The abundance of foliage, birds, and flowers woven through the composition evokes creation’s harmony restored through divine grace. Bathed in morning light, the glass transforms the Abbey’s stone interior into a vision of generosity, belief, and the miracle of sustenance shared.
