Trinity College, Cambridge -- Stained Glass in the Chapel Windows      North 6

I couldn't find many pictures of Henry Holiday's Stained Glass windows in Trinity College, Cambridge so I decided to create my own pages. The windows are numbered 1 to 8 from the Ante Chapel to the Altar. I have tried to identify the person depicted in each window and provide links with information about that person. If you have any corrections, comments or advice please contact me at john-saville@ntlworld.com.

Doctor of the Church (Lat. docere, to teach) is a theologian from whose teachings the whole Christian Church is held to have derived great advantage and to whom "eminent learning" and "great sanctity" have been attributed by a proclamation of the Pope or of an ecumenical council. This honor is given rarely, only posthumously, and only after canonization or beatification. No ecumenical council has yet exercised the prerogative of proclaiming a Doctor of the Church.

Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, and Pope Gregory I were the original Doctors of the Church and were named in 1298.
