XI. South Aisle (second from east). Three Lights. 
St. Agnes. 
This window contains heads and parts of figures, including the 
head of a king. In the west light is a figure of St. Agnes, and at 
her side the holy lamb with cruciform nimbus. The legend states, 
“ The Christians buried her in the Via Nomentana, and her tomb 
became their place of assembly for devotion ; and there, one day, 
she appeared to them with a lamb by her side, and told them of 
her perfect happiness and glory.” 
XII. South Aisle (third from east). Three Lights. 
St. Lucy — St. Anthony—The Betrayal—David and Goliath. 
The first light has a figure of St. Lucy holding a palm branch 
in one hand and a book in the other. The story of her martyrdom 
relates that “ finally, a large fire having been kindled around her 
without harming her, a soldier pierced her neck with a sword, and 
she died.” 
The central light bears a figure in blue, wearing the badge of 
St. Anthony—a tau-cross with a bell under. The brethren of St. 
Anthony had a Hall in Peaseholme Green. It was a custom with 
the citizens, when a sow littered, to set a little pig apart and feed 
it for the brethren of St. Anthony. These pigs were so well fed 
that, “As fat as an Anthony pig,” became a proverb.
