My great aunt has recorded "While in London Dorothy and I met Alfred Wilkinson and saw his Design Studio and also the workshop of stained glass. Later, we visited an old church in Billingsgate "St. Magnus The Martyr" in which some of the windows from Alfred's works had newly replaced windows damaged in the war. They were circular and depicted a working man's trade - or union such as carpenter and cooper."

The windows in the church of St Magnus the Martyr, Lower Thames Street in the City of London show the arms of the Worshipful Companies of Fishmongers, Plumbers and Coopers together with those of William Wand when Bishop of London and Geoffrey Fisher when Archbishop of Canterbury as well as the badge of the Fraternity of Our Lady de Salve Regina.
