Brief description: Photograph of a design for a 6 light stained glass window depicting the resurrection and the crucifixion
Proposed design for the windows which show the Resurrection and the Crucifixion in the central lights. The design is part watercolour and part pencil, and appears to be a version of ELYGM:2024.14.130, with slight variations in colour and posing. An enthroned Christ is surrounded by disciples watching his ascension in the upper design, whilst Christ is crucified in the lower. Around the crucifixion scene are four scenes from his life: the Annunciation, Nativity, his sentencing before Pontius Pilate, and his burial. The design was approved by the London Diocesan Advisory Panel on 30 June 1953. 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.
