Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Sorrento St. John's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History
In a letter to Reverend WH Henderson on 11 April 1919 enclosing his quotes for a Great War memorial window, stained glass artist William Montgomery (1850-1927) estimated £60 for a Crucifixion, or £50 if simpler in form 'without the other figures'. Montgomery estimated £20 for a cast bronze tablet inset with the names of servicemen in beaten copper panels. Work started immediately and by June Montgomery was able to inform the vicar that it was progressing well, despite his concern that 'if the [gas] strike continues we will not be able to get [the glass] in the kiln [to fire the glass paint]'.
A Faculty for the window and tablet was issued on 12 June 1919 by Archbishop Henry Lowther Clark. At a service in November 1919, attended by returned servicemen who were lead to the church by the Sorrento band, Archbishop Clark consecrated the window and unveiled the large brass tablet bearing the names of soldiers below the window. Montgomery's account for £62.10.0 was issued on 15 October, and paid on 1 December.
