From All Saints Church, Daresbury, England. Created in 1935. Detail from the Alice in Wonderland Window, designed by Geoffrey Webb to commemorate the parish where Lewis Carroll was born. He based all the Alice designs, naturally, on the original illustrations by John Tenniel. Here we have the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse in a teacup.  Photo by John Eastwood, information from Vitreosity, an excellent and instructive website.
