Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Corio Geelong Grammar School All Saints' Anglican Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History
Each of the window openings in Alexander North's design for All Saints' Chapel at Geelong Grammar School was distinguished by different tracery stonework and Montgomery took a lead from North's treatment by designing each stained glass window and tracery individually while maintaining the overall continuity. The possibility of a commission from the Manifold family was first discussed late in 1917 and Montgomery notified the Headmaster that the design was completed in September 1918. Work was delayed while Montgomery waited for correct sizes and templates for each opening in the window to be sent by Rowsell, the stonemasons. The window was unveiled by the Archbishop of Melbourne on 4 December 1918. The invoice for £155 was presented on 15 November, 1918 and paid in January of the following year.
William Herbert Manifold, known ar 'Bertie' was born on 10 April 1890 at Croydon near Camperdown, son of William Thomson and Alice Mary Manifold of Purrumbete, Vic. At the outbreak of war Manifold went to England and joined the British Army as 2nd Lieutenant, Royal Field Artillery on 13 September 1915 and two months later joined the battle in France with 15 Battery, 36 Brigade. Along with three other officers he was killed in a shell burst at Bailleul on 26 April 1917, only weeks after the Allied victory at Vimy Ridge. He was buried alongside fellow officers at Roclincourt Valley Cemetery, between Vimy Ridge and Arras.
