Made by the studio of C.E. Kempe.

Charles Eamer Kempe (1834-1907) originally trained in the studios of Clayton & Bell but left to establish his own studio in London in 1869. As a result of his studies of English and continental medieval glass, he decided to model his work on the glass of the 15th century, distinguished by its delicate facial drawing, use of white glass and the combination of dark green and silvery tones. The output of windows was enormous for a period of almost 50 years and the studio survived until the 1920s. Apart from the distinctive style, Kempe's windows are frequently signed by a wheatsheaf emblem, later surmounted by a tower. Other distinguishing features are the inclusion of peacock feathers and pearly rows edging garments.
