Stained glass

The stained glass of St John’s Malone is of some importance.

The work of eight studios, or artists, is represented

and index

of windows


	Rose window
	There are three windows by Evie Hone, an artist of international reputation. The rose window above the gallery at the west end of the Church was particularly favoured by John Betjeman. For a descriptive account of Evie Hone’s Rose window click here... The other two Evie Hone windows are more accessible, that of St Brigid is in the west porch and a pensive St Columba is to be found on the west wall of the south transept.
St Brigid		St Columba

The leaves on the tree

Wilhelmina Margaret Geddes, also known internationally, is represented by an interesting window based on “The leaves on the tree” text from Revelation. The window was constructed in 1920 and bears long and detailed examination.

William McBride’s colours are vivid and glorious in the RIR Memorial in the Baptistry and in the compelling figure of St Joan on the nave’s north wall. Two other windows designed by William McBride are found on the nave's south wall.


	RIR Memorial		St Joan		David		Crowning the Victor

The east window is by the Bavarian firm of Mayer of Munich.

It is delicately expressive of its theme “suffer the children to come unto me” and is a favourite of many parishioners.

Four other Mayer & Co. windows are found in St John’s.
