This window was designed by Arthur Frederick Erridge (1899 – 1961) who was born in Kensington, London, the son of a road sweeper. Arthur studied at St Martin’s School of Art, later the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a talented and accomplished painter in watercolours and oils. He spent his early career with the leading London manufacturers of glass and leaded stained glass windows, James Powell & Sons, and worked with James Hogan (1883-1948) as a designer in stained glass and ecclesiastical furnishing between 1913 and 1940. During the Second World War Arthur was employed as an agricultural labourer in Suffolk. He afterwards became a principal designer for J.Wippell and Co., of Exeter and his works appear in churches and other buildings all over the world, but particularly in the UK and the USA. St Andrew’s is so lucky to have an example of his work.
