This window was designed by Joan Fulleylove, an outstanding female artist of the 1920s-30s whose most significant commission was to produce the windows for the Anglican Cathedral at Khartoum" Maker Maker Person or organisation involved in the making of the memorial Joan Fulleylove References References FACULTY DATED 21 AUGUST 1929: FACULTY BOOK 11/18 (BORTHWICK INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF YORK) Image(s) Memorial Image Media ID 65077 Image Priority 0 What is the image's caption?
