Description
Three Light Stained Glass Window with accompanying Brass Plaque. The window commemorates the two brothers and their mother (the brothers flank their mother) and Charles' wife- James, Charles and his wife all died in a very short space of time. The figures in the windows have photographic likenesses to their subjects but for some reason are names after the biblical figures of Joseph, Rachel and Benjamin.
