St Mary's Church, East Window Detail
A more detailed view of TM2749 : East Window, St Mary's Church Woodbridge.
Cherubs with prophetic scrolls ("BEHOLD A VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE AND BEAR A SON AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL") hover over a scene illustrating the visit of the Wise Men to the infant Jesus who is being held by his Mother. Near the bottom are the lily of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the crown and arrows of St Edmund, above which is the golden seal of Woodbridge Priory.
Below the scene:
"They saw a young child with Mary His mother & fell down & worshipped him; and when they had opened their treasures they presented unto Him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh. St Matthew 11:12)

St Mary's Parish Church, Woodbridge
The present church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, dates from the beginning of the fifteenth century but The Domesday Book records in that in "Wodebryge" there was "A church with 19 acres valued at 2 shillings". The indications are that this was a Saxon church, built probably at the close of the tenth century, so that there has been a church on this site for nearly a thousand years.
