Brief description: Design for a 3 light stained glass window depicting Christ in glory
Proposed design for the east window depicting Christ in glory in the centre light. Christ is flanked by angels in the left and right lights, with people below. An agricultural scene of horses pulling a plough is depicted in the bottom of the centre light. The window is set against a quarry background. Also shown on the design is the proposed reredos which depicts scenes from the life of Christ including the annunciation, crucifixion and nativity. This design was created by Christopher Webb (1886–1966), an English stained glass designer based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. He studied at the Slade School of Art and was then articled to Sir Ninian Comper. During his active career from 1920 to 1964 he produced over 400 windows with a distinctive character and style.
