Three-light window. Robed standing figure of Christ, holding an orb and making a blessing, between the archangels Michael and Gabriel. Further angels above, below and behind the figures in an exceptionally rich composition.
firm/studio: James Powell & Sons
designer: William Aikman
Church of St Mary, Margam, Neath Port Talbot
east wall of the chancel
The window was given by Emily Talbot. The order specified that no inscription should be added to the window. The estimate for the window was for £517, and rose to £550, reflecting the cost of £3 per square foot that paid for the attention of one of the firm's top designers.
