1932

Three-light window. Crucifixion scene with instruments of the Passion in roundels above.

size: 45 cm (width of each light) [approx]
designer: possibly Horace Wilkinson

Church of St Arvan, St Arvans, Monmouthshire
east wall of the chancel (window number: I)

According to a faculty dated 28 May 1932, the window was made by Horace Wilkinson (Gwent County Record Office DM/P6.192), and it is included among his windows in the British Society of Master Glass-Painters list of 1939. However, the style of the window is considerably more modern than his usual work, as well as of his son A.L. Wilkinson, whose work is also represented in the church. Could this be a more modern replacement, perhaps following the original design?
