West Window St Peter's in the Fields Bocking.
St. Peter's in the Fields Bocking West Window. Is by a very well known maker of stained glass – Leonard Walker - and was dedicated on 27th May 1926 by the then Bishop of Colchester. It is in memory of the Revd H J Shildrick, the first Vicar of St Peter’s , from 1897 – 1926, his wife and daughter. It also serves to the memory of the 26 men of the parish who died in the Great War; and to the memory of the late H Tetley, formerly managing director of Courtauld’s. Underneath this window is the War Memorial naming those lost, and given by W F Crittall.
It is significant that 2 of the great Braintree and Bocking employers of past years are thus represented in our window and memorial!
At the time, Leonard Walker was renowned for his use of colour, and a revival of the more ancient effects created in coloured glass, which was considered by some to have been lost in the rather duller effect of more traditional, Victorian glass windows.
