Nothing, I suppose, to do with the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, in the City of London?

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
In Middleton, in Greater Manchester in the church of St Leonard, there is a stained glass window that commemorates the English longbow archers at the Batlle of Crecy.

There is also another stained-glass window that commemorates the Middleton longbow archers at the Battle of Flodden.

Some desperation -- nothing to do with William Tell, I'd reckon? (I get the feeling that he was a German-speaking, rather than French-speaking, Swiss -- and don't know of any Church involvement in his exploits.)

To clarify. My getting warmer statement to Xenophon was in relation to his interpretation of weapon / fish and not to the connection of the terms.
There's an archerfish (Toxotes jaculatrix), Archerfish a BAE mine neutraliser and the submarine USS Archerfish.

You may now boldly go to the next question.

Does it read or signify something when seen upside down? Although it sounds like something I would say after my third bottle (of whisky).
