A Reader Enquires: Stained Glass at Ipswich Library

Hello, I have an amateur interest in photographing stained glass and often find the Vidimus articles of great interest. But I have a query and wonder if there is anyone who can provide an answer. I recently took some photographs of some of the glass in the Northgate Room in Ipswich Library ( opened September 1924 ; architect Munro Cautley ) but, try as I may, I haven’t been able to find any hint as to the name of the glassmaker. I would dearly love to know the name of the artist/glassmaker.Here are the windows. They all feature people or places with a local con-nection to Ipswich. All I know is that the library was opened in 1924 and the architect was a local man, Munro Cautley. I imagine the glassmaker was also probably local but I’ve been unable to discover who it was.
