firm/studio: A.L. & C.E. MooreChurch of St Garmon, Llanarmon-yn-Iâl, Denbighshirewest end of south aisle
The window is signed A.L. & C.E. Moore London WC.
Given in memory of Revd William Jones (died 1921), who had been vicar of the parish. The window might have been installed in the later 1920s when the church underwent some restoration.The words 'Alleluia' and 'victory' alongside the name Germanus refer to the Alleluia Victory won by the Christian Britons over the Saxons in the early fifth century. The victory was won by the intervention of Garmon, and the episode was included in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation. Local tradition locates the scene of the victory nearby, a few miles to the north near Mold.
