DescriptionPhotograph of stained glass cartoon, five photos joine to complete the image. The design shows St. Michael in armor with a staff in his right hand and scales in his left at the top of the image. He is supported by three frightened-looking seraphim. The central seraphim holds an open book supported by its knee. Below them two souls are presented rising from their graves. One is facing right stepping out of a roman-style sarcophagus. The other appears to be rising from the water with her arms akimbo. The name of the church (Easthampstead) location (center right) and cartoon number (208) are in the photograph at the upper quadriant (above the figures and window outline).
