Cards from Mary Evans Picture Library
Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxon
Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, High Street, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.. The window on the north wall of the chancel is a Tree of Jesse, a unique form of multi-media combining tracery, sculpture and stained glass (all 14th century in date) in a single theme. The scene shows how Christ was descended from King Davids ancestor Jesse, the surprisingly natural figure apparently slumbering on the windowsill at the foot of the tree. The figure of Christ at the top was severely damaged in Cromwellian times. Date: 1934

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite Jesse Window located in the north wall of the chancel at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Dating back to the 14th century, this unique masterpiece combines intricate tracery, sculpture, and stunning stained glass into a single theme. The Tree of Jesse depicts how Christ was descended from King David's ancestor, Jesse, with the surprising natural figure of Jesse himself apparently slumbering on the windowsill at the foot of the tree. The figure of Christ at the top was unfortunately damaged during Cromwellian times. The Jesse Window is a rare and precious survival from the medieval period, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision of the time. This image, taken in 1934, offers a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of Dorchester Abbey's interior, transporting us back to the 1300s and the thirties, a time of intrigue, creativity, and spirituality.
