Bassenthwaite, St John's Episcopal Church, Hilda Christine Murray Memorial Window; "I am the resurrection and the light"

Designer: Wilson, William, OBE RSA RSW · 1905-1972

On the cartoon there is a hint of an unwanted letter S in the spelling of Resurrection which needed the space before the tip of the staff to be re-aligned but this was not done in the finished window, leaving a rather clumsy gap.
