This window was filled in at one point but re-opened and infilled with tinted layers on the glass using some special coloured sugar glass using a design by an artist gentleman of St Buryan. See a photographic view from within for an idea of the effect or go inside yourself!
I see what you mean, Denanmor! Of course lower down there are two niches for statues of St Peter and St Michael. Perhaps there were more or intended but not completed. I know the building (c 1844 without checking for now) was completed almost miraculously from what I read in Courtney s Half a Century in Penzance .
Note that the stonework in the recesses/windows matches that alteration to the high gable; I have a feeling that I read something about this gable end once, not too long ago.
