perhaps 1882

Three-light window.

Church of St John the Evangelist, Gowerton, Swansea
east wall of the chancel (window number: I)

The window has similarities with the work of Heaton, Butler & Bayne, although the figure of Christ looks more like Hardman's. The colours are stronger than the usual work of either.
