Clarence and Eric Fletcher

On the south side of St Margaret's Church Westminster is a memorial window to Clarence Fletcher, by John Piper. The small slate plaque below reads: 

This window was given in memory of Clarence George Eugene Fletcher for many years a member of the congregation and a teacher in the Sunday School of St Margarets.

The Piper windows were inserted in 1966 to replace war damaged glass.
