Below is another roundel where the Charter granted by King Edward the Elder is depicted. Coats of Arms of the donors, Mr.and Miss Ingram Walker, are included in the design.

It is entitled “Justice, Wisdom, Reverence and Love". The text around the window reads- “The path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day". The inscription beneath the figure and above and below the dedication reads “For Christ His Sake; Ubi Thesaurus Ibi Cor”. The window was given in memory of Griffith Humphrey Pugh Evans, Knight (1840–1902).* All Saints Nynehead - Arnold carried out work on the church's armorial window.
