Pentecost lantern glass at Sheffield Cathedral, designed by Keith New

Pentecost is the theme of glass designed in 1964 by Keith New for Sheffield Cathedral’s lantern, dedicated in 1966. This image is from the artist’s archive; in the 1980s, structural problems meant that the lantern had to be reconstructed, with glass by Amber Hiscott. Another window by the same designer takes as its starting-point the famous last stanza from T. S. Eliot’s “Little Gidding” (Four Quartets) : “We shall not cease from exploration . . . And know the place for the first time.” New wrote that the flowing lines of colour between the firmly em­phas­­ised triangles were partly intended to represent both “time” and “timelessness”. The window was made for All Saints’, Isleworth, in Middlesex, and commissioned in 1986 by the Waterston family in memory of Dr David Waterston, an eminent physician. Fuller account of these windows accompany these images in a catalogue raisonné included by Diana Coulter and Robert Smith in their landmark study Keith New (Sansom & Co., £25 (£22.50); 9781-911408-21-5), which has more than 100 illustrations
