    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Parkville Trinity College Anglican Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History

    In early 1917, it was reported that three windows were promised for the Horsfall Chapel at Trinity College. One was offered by Mr. Edmund Jowett in memory of his son Eric, who had joined the Royal Flying Corps in Britain, as recorded in the base panel of the window. The Jowett family obtained a design for the armorial section of their window from the College of Heralds. The window was not unveiled until Armistice Day, 1923 during a service conducted by the College Chaplain, the Reverend E Wade, principal of Ridley College. At the unveiling of the memorial, the former Warden of the College, Dr. Alexander Leeper paid tribute to Flight-commander Jowett's courage and personality.

    Eric Craven Jowett entered Trinity College in 1909 and went on to Trinity College, Cambridge; he was at Cambridge when war broke out. He enlisted in the Northumberland Fusiliers, but later joined the Royal Air Force. Flight-commander Jowett was shot down behind German lines and died of wounds on 9 July 1916. He was commemorated at Queen's Cemetery, Bucquoy, France.
