Description: | This is one of three windows from St. Clements Church, Ilford
that commemorate Sarah Ingleby, who gave the land that the
church was built on in 1889. Sarah Ingleby was the last resident
of Valentines Mansion, a large private house built in the 1690s.
As Ilford became a suburb, St. Clements was built to serve the
expanding population.
After Sarah died in 1906, these windows
were installed. The church was later demolished in 1977 and the
windows donated to the London Borough of Redbridge.
The
windows depict the biblical story of Dorcas, a charitable woman
who made clothes for poor widows. The windows allude to the
generosity of Sarah Ingleby in gifting the land for the church. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Redbridge Museum | Rights holder: | Redbridge Museum | Subjects: | communities Home and Family | Temporal: | 1906 (circa) | Source: | Redbridge Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
