    [Plaque] The above window by M. Napier Waller depicting the transfiguration was erected to the Glory of God in grateful remembrance of the men and women of this church of St. Mark who served in World War I 1914-1918 and World War II 1939-1945 March 2nd 1952.

    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Camberwell St. Mark's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    Draffin suggests this was the first of a cycle of windows installed by Waller, however this appears to be contradicted by the date of dedication of the sanctuary window to the memory of Robert Ware. Subsequently other windows were installed in 1959, 1962-65. A second plaque reveals Waller's concept: 'The treatment of the subject depicts Christ illumined and as the centre of a great aura and radiance of coloured light, which halates outwards to the figures of Moses and Elijah. The halation of light transits upwards through the tracery to a variety of deeper and richer blue where are depicted the Trinity. On the bottom of each of the three windows crouch the figures of St. John, St. Peter and St. James being veiled from a clear vision by the intervening belt of cloud. They are still closely tied to an ordinary vision of their surroundings and so are in a state of ignorance and perplexity.'
