Brief description: Design for a 3 light stained glass window depicting Christ in Majesty

This is a reference to the miraculous feeding of the five thousand with two loaves and five fish. The window is set against a rectangular 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.
