detail from Scenes from the New Testament
1961
Series of four windows depicting Christ in Gethsemane, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and Pentecost.
firm/studio: Celtic Studiosartist: John EdwardsChurch of St Mary and Holy Innocents, Merthyr Vale, Rhondda Cynon Taffrear (liturgical west) wall
Signed with Celtic Studios' usual maker's mark, and, unusually for the firm, includes the name of the window's designer.
The windows were installed in the new building in the 1970s, and the original window had cusped tops and tracery lights. The square tops imposed on the reset windows remove the final trace of medievalism from these striking modern windows.
