firm/studio: Charles Powell
Church of St Jude, Swansea
east wall of the chancel
Dedication: 'To the Glory of God and in Grateful thanksgiving for a victorious Peace 1919. This window is erected by Matilda Lennard.'
The window is included in the lists of windows by Charles Powell and successive lists by Christopher Charles Powell published by the British Society of Master Glass Painters. It is dated as 1927 and as 1937 in the Directories, and although 1927 would be reasonably consistent with the window stylistically, a date closer to 1919 seems more likely.
