Brief description: Design for a 2 light stained glass window depicting the transfiguration
Proposed design for a window in the south side, depicting the transfiguration in a central design across the two lights. Jesus, Elijah, and Moses appear as pale figures bathed in light, surrounded by a wreath of angels. St. Peter, St. John, and St. James kneel in shock, with one disciple reaching up to touch the vision before him. The window has a quarry background and space for an inscription. The tracery lights show the Holy Spirit as a dove and a crest. Design has a 'recommended for faculty' stamp on the reverse from the Norfolk DAC. 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.
