Window inside St. Andrew's church (Allensmore) This window in the south wall of the nave has three lights with a large trefoil above, which Nikolaus Pevsner described as "oddly incomplete". I think this is a unique tracery of church window since I do not recall seeing that style in Herefordshire before (with the exception of the three lights).
