Grade l listed.

South Chapel South Window - one of three lancets - detail.

By Alexander Gibbs (1832-1886).

He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

 

This window is erected in memory of Robert Thomas Healey, late Captain 89 Regiment, 2nd son of Henry and Mary Elizabeth Healey, born at Risby, July 27th 1808, died at Ashby Decoy Cottage March 13th 1864.

 

Alexander Gibbs (1832-1886) was one of three sons of Isaac Alexander Gibbs (1802-1851), who started making stained glass just before his death. Confusingly, all three were named Alexander and the youngest also shared the name of Isaac. Alexander (with no other name) inherited his father’s business with Charles Alexander but from 1855 had his own business with two addresses in Bloomsbury. Among those working for him was Isaac Alexander junior. Alexander was willing to conform to William Butterfield’s requirement for clarity and lack of clutter and worked with him for the rest of his life. After his death, the firm continued the association and it did not close until 1915.
