Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

The Ninian Comper strawberry mark (RH corner).

This window was donated by the Rev C R Ward in memory of his nephew, Captain Francis Welford Ward of the Gloucestershire regiment, who was killed during WWI. The window was designed by the renowned church architect Sir Ninian Comper (1864 - 1960) who designed windows for many churches including Westminster Abbey and Downside Abbey in Somerset. He was one of the last of the great Gothic Revival architects.
