Joblin Window

Saint Anne's

An ascending vision of earth, life and sky in the shape of a cross, placed in Saint Anne’s chapel

The Joblin window once filled a cross-shaped east window of Saint Anne’s Church on Wilson Road. The cruciform window was originally made of clear glass that was replaced by stained glass in this memorial to Mrs Rhoda Joblin.

The scene of paddocks, hills, blue sky and white clouds fitted with the green hills and sky that formed the physical backdrop to the actual church at the bottom of the St Martins Valley.

It has been relocated to the Saint Anne’s chapel in Saint Mark’s Church, Opawa.

The triple lancet east window is a triptych of the risen Lord at the empty tomb, based on Matthew 28. It was made by Whitefriars of London to replace the one destroyed by the fire which destroyed the original church in 1949.
