Brief description: Design for a single light stained glass window depicting St Paul
Proposed stained glass design depicting St. Paul. St. Paul is one of the foremost figures in Christian thought, and is here dressed in yellow, with a black-lined white cloak. The large sword he carries is a reference to his execution via beheading. He is surrounded by angels and heraldic shields and scrolls against a quarry background. 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.
