George Smith Kendrick memorial

Here, two central ovals enclose trumpet-playing angels.  They are surrounded by decorative flowers, foliage, and cross-shapes. If these carry symbolic intent, it is not understood.   The window memorializes George Smith Kendrick, an Amherst businessman, and was created in 1931, probably to replace a Gibson place-holder window of 1866.  You will note how little light gets through, compared to a Gibson grisaille.  Some viewers prefer the jewel-like colors of this type of window.
