However, the three are traditionally combined. St John, his name written in his halo, is shown in the act of writing, while interrupted by a vision of two angels, who hold a scroll showing the words of Revelation 14:13: \u2018And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The window commemorates <a href=\"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/biographies\/biography-1\/\">Johnson Gedge<\/a>, the editor of the <em>Bury &amp; Norwich Post<\/em> for forty years, who died in 1863. His father, Peter, had helped establish the paper in 1782 and had been its editor. Gedge was also involved in the founding of St John\u2019s in 1841 and the family remained prominent members of the community for the rest of the century.<\/p>\n<p>This window was designed by Heaton, Butler and Bayne in Covent Garden, London. They were one of the leading manufacturers of Gothic Revival stained glass in England, with commissions from leading architects and churches, including Westminster Abbey. The business was founded by Clement Heaton (1824-82) and James Butler (1830-1913) in 1855, changing its name in 1862 when one of their younger assistants, Robert Turnill Bayne (1837-1915), was made a partner.<\/p>\n<p>Bayne became the company\u2019s sole designer, and experts note the \u2018clear hand of Bayne\u2019 in this particular window. Heaton, Butler and Bayne were the third largest suppliers of windows to Suffolk churches in the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":745,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/768"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":774,"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/768\/revisions\/774"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjohnsburystedmunds.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
