Notes: DOSSIER. Dedicated in November 1967 to commemorate the 21 year old daughter of Sir Henry and Lady Rosemary D'Avigdor-Goldsmid drowned in 1963 while sailing off Rye.

The Tudeley windows are inspired, said Chagall, by the words of Psalm 8, especially verses 4-8:
"What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”

Recorder: Reverend William Henry Donnan, 1972
