Brief description: Black and white photograph of a single light depicting the arms of Thomas Wentworth. Restored at the Goddard and Gibbs studio, London
Photograph of a window depicting the heraldic arms of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Stafford and an alumnus of St John's College, Cambridge. Wentworth (1593-1641), was a valued adviser to King Charles I, serving on the privy council and as Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1632-1640. Wentworth's high-handed behaviour in Ireland made him unpopular there and at home, and Charles I caved to immense Parliamentary pressure to have him executed in 1641. The English Civil War broke out the next year. Reverse of photo states it is 'Dykes Bower specimen of restored window at St Johns College Cambridge Dining Hall.
