Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Newtown Christian Reformed [formerly Methodist] Church - Memorial Window Description & History
On behalf of the Pakington Street Methodist Church, Mr. Thewlis ordered two windows from Brooks, Robinson & Co. in January 1946. The windows each measured approximately 102 x 24 inches and the chosen subjects were St. Michael and The Crown of Life in commemoration of men from the congregation who had fought in World War I and World War II. The cartoon of St. Michael was previously used for a soldier's memorial at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Oakleigh, but The Crown of Life was a new version of the subject.
