This rose window in the South transept forms a flower head with 24-fold symmetry. The stonework of the window dates from the building of the South Transept c.1250.  The window has a mixture of sixteenth, eighteenth and twentieth century glass. The design of the outer panels contains two red Lancastrian roses, alternating with panels containing two red and white Tudor roses. The inner sunflower was inserted in 1793 by the local, self‐taught, glass painter William Peckitt.
