This window depicts the New Testament story of Mary and Joseph finding the young Jesus in the temple in an in-depth discussion with the rabbis. It is a copy of an original oil painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt, now in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. The stained-glass window was made by the artist Mary Lowndes, who in 1897 founded the firm of Lowndes and Drury, with her business partner Alfred Drury. In 1906 Lowndes and Drury moved to custom-built premises in Fulham, known as the Glass House. the Glass House became a centre for English Arts and Crafts stained glass design offering studio and workshop facilities to independent designer-makers. The window was previously installed in St Martin and All Saints' Church, Oxford, and was removed when the church became redundant.
