Stained Glass at St Katherine's

In September 1895, the first five stained glass windows of the present series of eleven were placed in the South Aisle.

They created great interest in those days, but the whole series of eleven only cost £156 5s.

The [Bournemouth] Guardian newspaper of May 31st, 1896, contained a lengthy and eulogistic description of these windows, which were made by Mr. A. L. Moore, of Southampton Row, London.

 

The West Windows were erected in 1920, at a cost (with the tablets attached) of £600.
