The window was originally stolen from Beatrice Webb House in 1978 but was recovered in 2005 by the Webb Memorial Trust and is on long term loan to the LSE. The window depicts Shaw, Sidney Webb and ER Pease [secretary of the Fabian Society] helping to build the new world. They are in Elizabethan dress which was to poke fun at Pease who loved everything medieval. The people depicted at the bottom were leading members of the Society.
