Summary
Stained glass By Charles E. Kempe. One of four windows, outside of the bay, on the left. The window features the Shield Crest of Nova Scotia, original home of Flora Mander. The design features a gold background with three thistles, which represent 'New Scotland' and a waved blue band through the centre with a fish which represents the Grand Banks fishing ground. A wreath-like shape surrounds it with red and blue segments, a clear Tudor rose sits on each side and there is a gold section at the top and bottom of the wreath. The rest of the light is cut at small angular segments in clear glass, creating a geometric pattern.
