Designs for two lancet windows
Draughtsman: Burne-Jones, Edward
Method of acquisition: Given (1911) by Murray, Charles Fairfax
This can perhaps be identified with a window in the Parish Church of Kentish Town. Sewter gives the subjects as: 'Noah building the Ark' - left top 'Christ with 3 disciples in front of a Roman building' - left below 'Christ seated at table with 4 disciples' right top and 'The Building of the Temple' - right below. The window was made by Morris and Co. in 1863, with pattern work by Philip Webb. Burne-Jones' account book lists two entries: 19th August 1862 'To small drawing for Kentish Town Ch.: £3'; 1-4th October 1862 '2 lights for Kentish town window. £4' Cartoons for 'Noah building the Ark' and 'The Building of the Temple' are at Birmingham (9'01 and 10'01) (Plates 151 and 152 Vol. I Sewter).
