Swaffham Prior: St Mary, 1st World War memorial window 2013-09-14

Left-hand image from the bottom tier of the central N. aisle window. Conceived, designed and two-thirds paid for by the squire in 1919, according to the church guide, although similar (but pre-Great War) glass in the S. aisle is signed by T.F. Curtis and was made by Ward and Hughes. The biblical quotation below this panel, from Isaiah, XL, 1, was also used at the opening of Handel's Messiah: "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your God; speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned". Like the next panel, this panel appears to be a preparation for the third window with its theme of peace.
