St Thomas

His scroll is inscribed: D(omi)n(u)s meus et deus meus: ‘My god and king’ is the familiar phrase derived from it.

 

 

 
Christ

Christ bearing a cross-staff and pennon. His stigmata are clearly visible, including the wound in the side, and it to this which his scroll alludes. It is inscribed: Thoma [ten]dite manu(m) manu(m) I(n) latus meu(m) qui no(n) viderunt. ‘Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side : and be not faithless, but believing’ (St John 20, 27)

 

An Archbishop

Probably St Thomas of Canterbury, whose altar was in this bay in the 15c.
