1920s

Window with six panels concerning The Quest for the Holy Grail, with Sir Percival, Sir Galahad and Sir Bors in the lower three lights.


artist: Trena Cox

Rydal School, Colwyn Bay, Conwy
wall of the library (previously Dining Room)

An early Trena Cox window, not signed or dated, but included in her catalogue of windows. Originally placed in what was the Dining Room, the room is now used as the Library. A mezzanine floor has been inserted, the staircase for which is right in front of the window. Hence the photograph of the entire window is a composite.

Dedication: 'In Loving Memory of Tom Dixon, O.R. Who died on January 4th 1925 Aged 17 years. This Window is erected by his parents.'
