| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the Whittier Memorial Window because Mrs. Whittier was one of the donors and likely the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
| Comment: |
The window was destroyed in the Great Fire of 30 Apr 1911 and was replaced by the original donors with a new window (ITEM:19.3.6.1) in the new building [BDN1912, BET1912, DEDUCED] |
