| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the James Memorial Window, because Mrs. James was one of the donors and was likely the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
| Comment: |
In 2014 the congregation announced that they wanted to sell the window (but instead it was restored) [DHG2014, DHG2017] |
