Hello
Our church is commemorating the death 100 years ago in June of Ernest Stafford Carlos, who painted the famous Pathfinder Scout painting, the original of which is kept at Gilwell Park. This painting is depicted in his memory in a stained-glass window in our church. https://www.facebook.com/Holy-Cross-Church-Hornchurch-463618100370962/?fref=nf
I am collecting images of other stained glass depictions of the painting for a leaflet to be given out at a special service commemorating the life and works of Carlos. In the book ‘Painting in Ernest’ by Steven Harris, he mentions that there is another stained glass window in St John's Church, Belfast.
Not sure which St John's he is referring to, but wondered is anyone had any idea where this window is, and how I could get a photo of it please?
Thank you
Mary

There's a St John's church on the upper Ormeau Road.
I was there for a sale in the church hall today, but hadn't seen your message.
I'll see whether I can get there tomorrow while the church itself is open.

Mary,
St John's Presbyterian church, Newtownbreda, is at the corner of the Ormeau Road and Knockbreda Road, 54°34'13"N, 5°54'48"W. The window is in the SW corner.
Nobody I spoke to knows who made it,
but apparently the church has a long association with the Scout movement.
If you like to send me a PM with your eMail address, I'll send you a photo.

Well found, wee Hugh!

Thanks Wee Hugh! that would be wonderful, will send you a PM.

Mary

I knew that the moderators would delete ihg's eMail address,
so took the precaution of noting it and passing it on to Mary.
I hope they're now in contact.
There's a Wikipedia article on Ernest Stafford Carlos,
but no doubt those who are interested have discovered it by now.
Similarly Gilwell Park.

Thanks for all your help everyone. I have already searched the internet extensively for all of the windows depicting The Pathfinder as well as the book Painting in Ernest which is a book about Carlos and his work especially the Pathfinder. I have found twelve altogether and a possible thirteenth. Wee Hugh has kindly provided a picture of the one at St John's Belfast and the email of someone who might be able to give more information.
Thanks again for all your help!
Mary
