East window
East window in All Saints' church, Waldringfield, Suffolk. Attributed by Birkin Haward to Lavers & Barraud. c1864. This window, showing the Baptism of Christ, the Crucifixion and the Last Supper was installed in the church during the Victorian reconstruction of the 1860s.
It is sometimes referred to as the Coprolite window, as the restoration was financed from the profits of the local Coprolite trade, a thriving business at the time, in which nodules were dug out of the glebe lands, washed on the nearby beach, then transported by barge down the Deben to Ipswich, where it was mixed with sulphuric acid to make an early form of superphosphate fertiliser.
