size: 51 cm (width of each light)firm/studio: Lavers & WestlakeChurch of St John, Porthmadog, Gwyneddnorth wall of the north aisle (window number: nVII)
The window is signed 'Lavers & Westlake, London 1898'. It was unveiled in January 1899.
Unlike all of the other stained glass windows in the church, it is the only one that does not carry a dedication, the only text on the window being the text across the base of the window.
According to the The North Wales Chronicle, 28 January 1899, the window was given by Mr F.S. Percival, a benefactor of the church who provided for the addition of the tower and the bells that were hung in it. The male figure at the top right of the window appears to be a portrait, and is perhaps a portrait of the window's donor.
