Centered above each of the church’s three doorways is an ox-eye, or elliptical, window. These windows are set about 21 ½ feet above the floor and measure approximately 2 feet 9 inches by 3 feet 9 inches. Molded brick with sandstone keystones centered at the top, bottom, and sides frame the window sash. This brick and stone trim projects slightly from the plane of the wall.
The sash is divided into nine sections: a centered, elliptical pane surrounded by eight segmental panes, two in each quadrant. The sash is fixed in place and painted both on the interior and exterior, unlike the twelve compass-head windows, which are painted on the exterior only. The sash is made of black walnut and is the same size and profile as that in the compass-head windows. It is likely none of the glass is original, as photographs from the late nineteenth century show most of the glass had been knocked out of all of Christ Church’s windows by that point. |
 Each of the doorways at Christ Church has an ox-eye, or elliptical, window over it. Shown here is the one over the west doorway. The sash is original, but the glass is not. |
