Frank Brangwyn ~ Nativity Window

Nativity Window, Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Bucklebury, Berkshire


The design for this stained-glass window was commissioned by Lady Webley-Parry-Pryse in memory of her mother, Mrs Webley-Parry, who had died on 2 September 1917. Mrs Webley-Parry had given very generously of her time and money in parish affairs. The three-light window is situated in the north aisle of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Bucklebury. The design was executed in glass by James Sylvester Sparrow.
