According to local legend, Queen Victoria commissioned this stained glass window for one of her children. When she saw it she was "not amused" by the thought of an angel dressed in red, and it was relegated to the royal storerooms. At some later date the colonial office had some reason to reward St. Vincent with a gift, and someone found this window. It remains in the Anglican Cathedral to this day. I think it is quite attractive for Victorian stained glass.
