In the second panel, Hugh sits up in bed and tips a round ampulla to his lips. This ampulla contains the Becket blood-and-water relic. Many thousands of pilgrims left Canterbury carrying such ampullas, some of which have survived in archaeological contexts. The surviving ampullas are much smaller than the one pictured on this panel, but the glaziers wanted viewers to be able to identify exactly what Hugh had chosen to drink. The doctor had offered his medicine to Hugh in a tall cylindrical container, a sharp contrast to the round shape of the ampulla.

Around Hugh’s bedside, people have shifted positions. Hugh’s abbot and one of his fellow monks are now to the right, the abbot holding his hand up in blessing. The doctor, meanwhile, has been shunted to the left side of the panel along with his assistant, who still holds the case of medicine. The doctor’s hand is up in what looks like a gesture of protest.

The backplating on this inscription was corrected in the 2020-23 restoration to make it more visible and readable. This inscription “Hope remains for the hopeless in the blood of the saint.” conveys what many ill medieval people thought as they, like Hugh, drank the blood-and-water relic and hoped for recovery.
