Christ Ascending
perhaps late 1920s
Tall single-light window with figure of Christ in a red cloak in the sky over a landscape.
size: 38 cm (width)artist: William GlasbyChurch of St Illtyd, Ilston, Swanseasouth wall of the nave (window number: sIV)
Text: 'I ascend unto my father'. The window uses the same design found in the centre light of the east window at Llanarmon-yn-Iâl, Denbighshire, which was made in around 1927. This window may be of a similar date or later – the listing of windows by Glasby's studio does not provide an exact date but suggests that it could be 1930s.
Given by Elizabeth Jones of Ilston in memory of her parents William and Jane Davies. (ObjectID=5501 ImageID=10743) Original File Name=Ilston_DSC1469-71C.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 08-10-2024
