Lifeboat Crew Memorial Window
This stained glass window is a memorial to the crew of the Mary Stanford Lifeboat that was lost in 1928.
It can be seen at Winchelsea Church and was the work of Douglas Strachan Ll.D., H.R.S.A., an artist who designed windows in St Paul's Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle.

Comments
My great grandmother was housekeeper to a family from Lee, South London, who came down every summer to stay in the Watch House behind the lifeboat station. My mother told me a very sad story about a love affair with one of the lifeboat men, Leslie Clark, which the daughter of the family had. If anybody knows anything about this, I would love to hear about it.
