[2223] Sheffield Cathedral : Te Deum Window
Sheffield Cathedral.
Chapel of the Holy Spirit.
Te Deum Window, 1948 - detail.
By Christopher Webb (1886-1966).
Memorial Window to Rev George Campbell Ommanney (1850-1936),
In memory of George Campbell Ommanney, priest. Vicar of the parish of St Matthew in this city 1882-1936. The gift of his devoted friend Thomas Clifford Watson.
Christopher Rahere Webb (1886-1966) was a major stained glass artist active from the 1920s into the early 60s. In his small Orchard House Studio in St Albans, with only one or two assistants, he created hundreds of stained glass windows, many replacing ones destroyed by enemy action in the Second World War.
His uncle was the architect Sir Aston Webb (1849-1930) and his older brother, Geoffrey, was also an accomplished stained glass artist.
He was given the second name Rahere in honour of the Augustinian Canon who founded the Priory and Hospital of St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield. Derelict by the end of the 19th century, the restoration work of the buildings was entrusted to Sir Aston Webb, assisted by his brother Edward who was Churchwarden there and whose passion was architecture. The name 'Rahere' was appropriate for the son of the latter born at this time.
