The Abbey: Part 2 (The Triptych and the stained glass: En)

What drew my attention immediately was the exquisite Triptych in the Lady Chapel, which was designed in the Arts & Crafts style by Edward Prioleau Warren, a British architect and archaeologist; the paintings for the panels were done by William Dacres Adams; it dates around 1904.
What is even more peculiar is stained glass on the north window in the Lady Chapel, which is a work by Joseph Grant of Costessey and, unlike other early Victorian creations, has this eccentric twist in portraying the main characters in a manner unquestionably much more modern (the actual design was made in 1840).
