A two-light window with a quatrefoil window at the apex, in the apse of the church at its East end. The central subject of the window is the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple, and features Our Lady kneeling in the right-hand light, with Our Lord in the arms of Simeon in the left-hand light. In the space above the figures in the left-hand light is a representation of Reims Cathedral, surmounted by the Arms of the Archbishop, above which appears the coronet of a Marquis. Above Our Lady in the right-hand light are two kneeling, praying angels. The dedication is inscribed across the bottom of the two lights. The Arms of the Biaudos de Casteja family appear in the quatrefoil above the lights.
Count Emmanuel is also commemorated within the church's Memorial Chapel (WMR 18682), and on the family vault outside (WMR 87631).
