Modern church window - West Coker The window was designed and created by Stewart Bowman (1936-2019) of Buckinghamshire and installed in 2001. 

It depicts St Christina of Markyate (1096-1115).  She was born in Huntingdonshire and after a colourful life became an anchoress experiencing many visions and eventually founded the Priory at Markyate in Hertfordshire where Cell House is situated today.  She was also a skilled embroiderer and made several mitres for Pope Adrian IV.

The other is St Martin of Tours, the patron of this church.  Born in about  AD 336, he had become a Roman soldier who shared his halved cloak with a freezing beggar, which led the way to his becoming a Christian.  He performed miracles and in AD 371 became the Bishop of Tours founding a monastery at Marmoutier in France.  He became the patron saint of the Third Republic.
