We were perplexed by a reference to "Anglesey" by Donald Green in the NADFAS List at Ely. There was no further information. After some searching and writing to the Rev. Griffith who kindly supplied us with 16 photographs of Windows in St Nidan’s church Brynsiencyn we have come to the conclusion that Green was referring to two Windows Glasby painted, rather than designed.
Church of St Gwenfaen, Rhoscolyn, Anglesey
Diocese of Bangor
Window Morris & Co, designed by John Henry Dearle in 1920
The Window is on the west wall. A two-light window with two figures in armour. The archangel Michael overcomes the devil, and Fortitude holds a broken sword and withstands the 'fiery darts' with his large shield.
Given in memory of Thomas Keith Hedley Rae (1889–1915), who was killed at Hooges in the First World War.
and
Church of St Gwenfaen, Rhoscolyn, Anglesey
Diocese of Bangor
St George and St Michael. Found at the south wall of the nave (window number: sIII). 1919 two light Window with standing figures in armour.
The figures and curtain backgrounds were painted by William Glasby, and both figures were originally designed by Edward Burne-Jones. The figure of George was originally designed as a figure for Michael, and the figure of Michael was originally designed as Joshua.
Given in memory of Captain A.D.H. Grayson, T. Williams, E.S. Jones, D. Hearn, J. Jones and R.H. Jones, who all died in the First World War.
