| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1893 and Tiffany 1897 list the church under Sing Sing, the previous name for Ossining [TIFF1893, TIFF1897] |
|
Duncan 1980 has an entry for the church under Sing Sing with nothing listed, in addition to an entry for Ossining as Tiffany 1910 has [DUNC1980] |
|
Tiffany 1910 seems to list many spurious windows for the church [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |

| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the Sing Memorial Window so possibly it was donated, or organised, by a Sing, or possibly this is a mistake [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
|
Tiffany 1897 just calls it a rose window [TIFF1897] |
|
Tiffany 1897 (p. 74) quotes an extract from a letter by Mary Churchill saying "we think the window very beautiful" [TIFF1897] |

| Designer comment: |
Tiffany 1893 credits Sperry as the designer of a figure of St. John which is similar to the figure in this window [TIFF1893] |
|
Tiffany 1893 also shows a design for St. Mark which is similar to the figure in this window, but without crediting the designer [TIFF1893] |
