Note

A projected design for stained glass, which was never realised. In a letter from the artist (see file) he states: 'My design for Pontardawe was made in October 1964. The only other relevant information I still have are accurate measurements of the stonework of the windows. What happened I believe was the Brecon D.A.C. decided that a Welsh artist should be employed and this was a condition I could not tackle.
