Part of a design for the lost Cameron Memorial Window at the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy, London. The window, which commemorated the Jacobite Dr Archibald Cameron (1707-53) who is buried in the vault below the altar in the chapel, replaced a memorial tablet destroyed in the fire of 1864; but the window was itself destroyed in World War II. St Philip was the upper centre figure. Others were St John, St James, St Andrew, St Peter and St Paul. The window is now filled with new stained glass to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. This drawing seems to be all that is left to show for the earlier window. Many thanks to the Chapel for this information.

The sketch by Sir Edward Burne-Jones was commissioned for The Duchy of Lancaster in the 19 Century. It is a representation of St Philip the Apostle and is part of his design for a stained glass window in the chapel to commemorate Dr Archibald Cameron of Lochiel (1707-53). A physician, Cameron was a Jacobite (a supporter of the exiled Stuart dynasty), and was the last of that movement to be executed for high treason. He is buried in the vault below the chapel altar. In 1846 his great grandson, Charles Hay Cameron (1795-1880), was given permission to erect a memorial tablet to Archibald Cameron’s memory. It was destroyed in the 1864 fire which gutted the chapel. In 1870 Queen Victoria gave her permission for a stained glass window to replace the destroyed tablet. The window was given by Charles Hay Cameron’s son in law, Charles Lloyd Norman (1833-89). Edward Burne-Jones’ design featured the images of six saints: St John, St James, St Andrew, St Philip, St Peter and St Paul. This glass was destroyed in a bomb blast in 1940. This representation of St Philip is thought to be the only surviving example of Burne-Jones’ drawings for the Cameron memorial window. The image of St Philip was placed in the upper centre light. The ‘Cameron window’ is now filled with stained glass designed and made by the Edinburgh-born artist, Douglas Hogg, and inserted in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of The Queen’s reign. I hope this helps with your research. Best wishes Thomas L
