History
Windows - Thomas Robert Clark:
The
memorial window in the west wall of the ‘North Transept’ was gifted by Mrs.
Clark in memory of her husband - Thomas Robert Clark.
Mr. T. R. Clark was for many years a member of the Congregational Board and in
particular Chairman of the General Committee, which in 1936 became the Finance
Committee. He continued as its Convenor until February 1944 when he was, under
war regulations transferred to Helensburgh.
Mr. & Mrs. Clark remained members of St. Nicholas church, but Mr. Clark died in
December 1947.
The window was dedicated on 19th June 1949.
The design of the window is based on ‘The Stilling of the Storm’, by Christ.
Jesus is standing in the boat while two disciples look on in fear. Around are
the swirling waves and behind is the suggestion of a purply, stormy sky.
Below are the words ’Peace Be Still’. The medallion at the top indicates
creation and shows the land set in the midst of the sea. The lower medallion
represents the flow, with the Ark in the forefront and the mountains and rising
waters behind.
