    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Mildura St. Margaret's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    St. Margaret's Anglican Church, Mildura was built in several programs and memorial windows also installed in at least two separate cycles. When the stone church was enlarged to plans by Melbourne Anglican Diocesan architect Louis R Williams in the 1930s, Canon Horner arranged in 1933 for Brooks, Robinson & Co. to prepare designs for east window of the sanctuary. Several more windows were installed during 1959 by Archdeacon Hardingham, the last being the Crucifixion in 1960. The Warrior's Chapel was added around the early 1960s and the remains of Archdeacon James Hardingham were interred under its floor in 1962.

    Melbourne stained glass artist John Ferguson (1923-2010) prepared a series of windows that symbolised service and sacrifice, in keeping with the object of the sacred space.

    Although no record of Ethel Henshall's war service has been found, her husband Alfred (b.1892) served in the AIF from 17 December 1914 to 21 March 1919. Sergeant Henshall was awarded the Military Medal for his actions under heavy fire while in charge of the ammunition dump at Corbie where he continued to supply the men at the front. Ethel Sharland married Albert Henshall in St. Margaret's Church on 21 April 1920. Their son, Thomas Sharland Henshall served in the RAAF during the Second World War.
