Goditha of Hayes, panel 1

Window: nIII (Miracle Window: Pilgrimage and Healing)
Panel: 35b
The first panel of Goditha’s story is in excellent condition, containing very few modern replacements. Goditha wears a loose white kerchief around her head, a type of headgear the glaziers gave to ill women. Her body is swollen. She grips the top of a long crutch as she shuffles forward, her servant helping to guide and support her from behind. The women are heading for a city gate.

The inscription reads, Que venit egrota turgescit ydropica tota, or “The ill woman who comes is all swollen with dropsy.”
