From Hertford:

The window was made in 1911 by the glazier James Powell at the Whitefriars Glassworks in the City of London to commemorate the centenary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. When the Bible Society moved out of London in 1985 they gave the window to the college. Its restoration and installation in the Chapel by the glazier David Worsley and the architect Robert Adam were made possible by a bequest from The Hon. Roland Michener (late Honorary Fellow) and by donations from the Drapers’ Company, the Hertford Society, and many old members of the College. It was dedicated by the then Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Revd Richard Harries, on 24 April 1994.
