about 1911
Two-light window containing two standing figures of Christ with the symbols of the four evangelists and the Agnus Dei.

technique: stained glass

firm/studio: probably Camm & Co.

Church of St David, Llanarth, Ceredigion
south wall of the chancel
previously at: Church of St Gwynlleu, Nantcwnlle, Ceredigion

Removed from Nantcwnlle Church at the time of its closure in around 2005. The window could have been made by the Smethwick firm of Camm & Co., who made the east window at Nantcwnlle, now at Trefilan.

The standing figure of Christ 'the light of the world' is an example of an image derived from Holman Hunt's famous nineteenth century painting, which was to prove immensely popular with patrons and stained glass designers. This particular image is somewhat marred by the incongruous crown, which has an unfortunate resemblance to a paper hat taken from a Christmas cracker.
