Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Kaniva Presbyterian Church - Memorial Window Description & History
Mr. RJ McDonald ordered the Crown of Life memorial window from Brooks, Robinson & Co. in August 1948. The window was in two panels, the top arch measuring 15 x 17 inches and the lower main panel 37 x 17 inches. William Kerr-Morgan adapted the design from an earlier sketch which he drew up to full size. This version of the Crown of Life pictured a knight in armour, kneeling before Christ who reached out to place the crown upon the soldier's head. The ornamental canopy was designed to match earlier windows in the church that had also been made in the Brooks, Robinson studio.
