Specialist note


The present drawings are two of nine designs for the rose window of St Martin's, Scarborough, designed by George Frederick Bodley and built in 1862-3. Much of the decoration and stained glass was by Morris & Co., and Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown and William Morris all contributed painted panels to the pulpit. Rossetti's designs for the rose window were never executed.
