The window is the first window on the liturgical south (geographically west) side of the ground floor of the nave. The Arms of those of the old Borough of St Marylebone. The motto reads ‘Let it be according to your Word’ part of the Magnificat or Song of Mary in Luke 1.46-55.

It was designed by Lawrence Stanley Lee (18 September 1909 – 25 April 2011). He was a British stained glass artist whose work spanned the latter half of the 20th century. He was best known for leading the project to create ten huge windows for the nave of the new Coventry Cathedral. His other work includes windows at Guildford and Southwark Cathedrals as well as a great number of works elsewhere in the UK, and some in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Christopher R Wallis was Lawrence Stanley Lee’s assistant in making the Marylebone Madonna Window.
