1907 East Window by Christopher Whall in All Saints’, Killington
A highlight of All Saints’, Killington, is the magnificent 1907 East Window by Christopher Whall (1849–1924). After the industrial production of Victorian stained glass, Christopher Whall was one of the leading lights in the development of the Arts and Crafts Movement approach to stained glass.
According to Barrie and Wendy Armstrong's Handbook ‘The Arts and Crafts Movement in the North West of England’ published by Oblong Creative (2006) the window:
depicts the sudden appearance of Christ to his disciples in the upper room after his resurrection. On the right the disciples who met the risen Christ at Emmaus have just arrived bursting to tell their news and unaware of His presence are no doubt very put out to be ‘shussed’ by the disciples half turned towards them. It … has a bounty of angels and Old Testament prophets in the tracery.
The window is dedicated to Florence Anne Upton-Cottrell-Dormer of Ingmire Hall, Sedbergh.
