This panorama labels the figures in this rood screen with an unusual feature – it primarily features female saints. Left-Right: Mary Magdalene (c.1st Century CE), St Dorothy (279 - 311), St Margaret (289 - 304), St Scholastica (480 - 543), St Catherine (c. 287- 305), St Barbara (d. 306), St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist (d. 28 - 36). This rood screen is also a rare survivor of the English Reformation, which saw many rood screens destroyed.
