Given in memory of Cecil Ralph Bulmer and Francis Hubert Bulmer. Both were drowned 23 June 1930, the older brother died trying to save his younger brother. The text 'Greater love hath no man than this' is given below the figure of Christ.
One of two windows from St Seiriol's moved to the Maritime Museum.The window probably alludes to Christ's calling of the fishermen at the start of his ministry, although the text alludes to the sacrifice of Christ: 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends' (John 15: 13).
