This window is erected by Matilda Lennard.' The window is included in the lists of windows by Charles Powell and successive lists by Christopher Charles Powell published by the British Society of Master Glass Painters. It is dated as 1927 and as 1937 in the Directories, and although 1927 would be reasonably consistent with the window stylistically, a date closer to 1919 seems more likely.  (ObjectID=4738 ImageID=8984) Original File Name=SwanseaStJude_DSC3282_53A.jpg
