Tiffany/Duncan comment: Tiffany 1910 calls this the London Memorial Window, so likely someone by that name was the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED]
Comment: The form of the signature implies that the window likely dates to 1900, the same as the building [DEDUCED]
