Three-light window. Peter (holding keys) and John (beardless) seem to be prominent below Christ's feet as he ascends in the taller, central, light. The other two scenes are in the outer lights.

Church of St Tanwg, Harlech, Gwynedd
east wall of the chancel

Signed Christopher C. Powell Highgate.

Given by the Vicar Revd. Robert Parker-Jones and his wife in memory of their only son Revd. F. J. Parker-Jones (1917-1943), a curate in Sidcup, Kent, who drowned in the River Medway trying to save a young boy.

The faculty for the window was approved in June 1944, although whether the window was installed in the same year, before the end of the war, is uncertain.
