The Ascension - George Farncombe memorial - Saint Andrew's Bishopstone

The Ascension - George Farncombe memorial - Saint Andrew's Bishopstone
Robert Eberhard's data base has no record of the designer or maker of this window. There are some stylistic similarities with William Wailes work of the period, assuming the memorial was commissioned soon after George Farncombe's death in 1858. The use of violet is a bit unusual, in my limited experience, although Wailes east window, in the neighbouring church of Saint Peter, East Blatchington, has purple in small quantities. The blue/red/green colour palette is also similar. The lettering is similar to that used in the West Window at Chichester Cathedral - the 'A' being quite distinctive. It could however be that that style of lettering was commonly used at that period.
