Brief description: Design for a single light stained glass window depicting an angel and St John
Proposed design for the window on south of chancel depicting an angel, St John and an eagle surrounded by floral banners. The window is set against a quarry background. The design references the revelation of the end of the world to St. John, who is shown scribbling down notes as an angel shows him a shining image of heaven. The eagle below him is St. John's symbol in the tetramorph, representations of the four gospel-writers as winged creatures. There is space for an inscription at the bottom. 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.
