St. Cecilia and a Listening Angel (C)
Date:1929
St. Cecilia and a Listening Angel (designed by Harry Clarke in 1921, executed freely
from his two cartoons by Karl Parsons in 1929) 

The window at Welwyn Water was commissioned by Mrs. Prentice to commemorate her daughter, Rachel, who died at age nineteen in March of 1919. Harry brought Mrs. Prentice to view his work at the Studios and at Terenure and sent her his designs for a two-light window. The Diocesan Advisory Committee of St. Michael and All Angels at Waterford, Herts, rejected Harry’s designs and also his subsequent alterations. The Committee stated that the designs were not in keeping with the PreRaphaelite windows in the church, including those by Burne-Jones, William Morris, and Ford Maddox Brown. The commission was subsequently cancelled (Bowe: 1994). It was not until 1929 that Karl Parsons used Harry’s designs to make the St. Cecilia window. 
 The window has three tracery lights. The panels at the top of the window depict the angel, bending over to whisper in Saint Cecilia’s ear. The main panels depict Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music. Saint Cecilia has dark red hair and is attired in silver-grey robes. The lower panel is inscribed with a quote from Revelations (14.4): The first fruits unto God.
