St Luke's Church, Wallsend - east window
'Crucifixion' by Wilhelmina Geddes (1922) - a memorial to the men of the parish killed in the First World War.
'One of the top ten best stained glass windows in the world.'
'One of the finest windows north of the Alps'.
'Of exceptional high quality and having a far deeper glow and colour and a far more violent expression than by any other artists of that time anywhere else in the country.' (Nikolaus Pevsner).
'To see this Geddes is to recognise, like scales falling from the eyes, that nothing quite matches the highest quality stained glass for intensity of artistic experience. I stared at and absorbed it for a good ten minutes. Only a personal visit can suffice, photographs cannot convey the way it commands the whole interior.' (Mathew Saunders).
The Irish stained glass artist Image, Wilhelmina Geddes (1887–1955) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelmina_Geddes was described as ‘the greatest stained glass artist of our time’ (Times obituary 1955)
