Christ Church, Llanwarne, Herefordshire, a building of 1864, has two windows that include 27 medieval Flemish stained glass roundels. These are circles of white glass, each with a picture painted in black and yellow stain. Two tell the story of Sorghelos, a tale of carefree living. The remainder are scenes of various subjects. The photograph shows a roundel that depicts two bound men, one well-dressed, one in rags, being taken away after they have been judged. They carry crosses which suggests that they may be guilty of a religious crime. What I found particularly interesting is the figure of Justice. As usual it is shown as a blindfolded woman holding scales. However, instead of a double-edged sword that represents Reason and Justice, for or against, she wields one with two blades. I've never seen that anywhere else.
