St Michael and All Angels Church, Bedford Perk, London W4, info from David Beresford: 'In the All Souls Chapel of our church, built in 1909, is a window dedicated to Edward Waring, commissioned and donated by his family and designed and made by John HW Bonnor (1875-1917). The lower panels show the risen Jesus in the garden, with S. Mary Magdalene on his left. The complex and in parts poorly discernible inscription, shows, on the left panel, the saint addressing Christ in Aramaic: “Rabboni”, and, above, the words “For Love is stronger than Death : many waters cannot quench Love, neither can the floods drown it” ( Song of Solomon 8:6-7). On the right panel with the resurrected Christ is the dedication: ‘To the greater Glory of God and in memory of Edward LL Waring died February 1909’.
