The Lord in Glory is also depicted on the screen. This should have been on the other centre panel opposite the Virgin Mary, as below, but got moved in one of the restorations onto the right hand pair of doors by the organ.

East Portlemouth
One of my last parishes before retirement was East Portlemouth near Salcombe in South Devon. The mediaeval Rood Screen there has on the chancel doors a representation of the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We tend to forget that it was a 'Roman Catholic' church before the Reformation. This screen is a reminder of our common heritage in England.
