- Notes
-
- Resolution passed to erect window in accordance with wishes of Emilie Twist, .
- The Truro Diocesan Faculty Petition,
,
dated ,
required
the subject, colouring and design to be in harmony with the existing window over the high altar, and designed by the same artist and erected by the same firm (J. Wippell & Co).
This implies that the artist was George Cooper-Abbs. The Petition stated that the window would be erected after the war. Emilie Twist, of Trevone, Padstow, left money in her will for this window, and there was some discussion on the wording of the inscription, to avoid the implication that she was providing a window in her own memory. The Faculty was granted on but her son Brian Twist died later in the same year and became the other dedicatee of the window.
In loving memory of Emilie Twist who died . & her son Brian Patrick Wynn Twist who died . This window was placed here by her daughter Doris Emilie Twist in accordance with her wishes
