    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Murrumbeena Koornang [formerly St. Giles' Presbyterian] Uniting Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    St. Giles' Presbyterian Church was designed by Melbourne architect, Louis R Williams, in 1933. Only one stained glass window was installed prior to the Second World War when a program of filling the leadlight windows was prepared, and largely completed, by David Taylor Kellock (1913-1988). The subject of this window is the allegorical turning of swords into ploughshares. Each light holds a full length figure, apparently of a worker, possibly a reaper, a blacksmith and a scyther or tiller of soil.
