| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the Thompson Memorial Window for reasons which are not clear, unless this is a misspelling of Sampson, because Ellen P. Sampson was the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, HIST1912, DEDUCED] |

The bronze table was installed 25 Jul 1900 [HIST1917] |
