St Peter's Church, Clippesby - stained glass window by M.E.A. Rope

This stained glass window, created around 1919, was the first commission of Margaret Edith Rope. Here the artist's eye for detail and her skills at portraying children are first visible, as is her interpretation of the Arts and Crafts style. To distinguish herself from her namesake cousin Marga (Margaret Agnes Rope) - also a stained glass artist - she used the professional name of M.E. Aldrich Rope (incorporating her mother's maiden name) or M.E.A. Rope. Because of her nickname 'Tor' (short for tortoise), she occasionally used a tortoise as a signature for some of her windows.
