[42258] St Peter, Nottingham : Crane Window
St Peter, Nottingham.
Window commemorating Alderman Sir William Crane CBE JP (1874-1959).
By John Samuel Bucknall to Ninian Comper's design, 1963.
REMEMBER WITH THANKSGIVING THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM CRANE, KT, CBE, 1874-1959. ALDERMAN AND HONORARY FREEMAN OF THE CITY, PRO-CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM.
Sir John Ninian Comper (1864-1960) was a celebrated church architect and furnisher of the Gothic Revival. He was born in Aberdeen in 1864, the son of John Comper, who was an adherent of the Oxford Movement and ordained into the Scottish Episcopal Church. This Anglo-Catholic influence was important, and is clear in Comper's adherence to Gothic. He worked in the offices of Charles Eamer Kempe and Bodley & Garner before establishing his own practice in the late 1880s, initially with William Bucknall (1851-1944). Almost all of his work was ecclesiastical. His trademark strawberry monogram can be found on many of his stained glass windows.
