The Lac-Brome Museum’s collection is fortunate to have many historical stained glass windows, one of which is "Thou Child." The artist of the piece, Yvonne Williams (1901-1997), gifted this window to the Brome County Historical Society in 1967. Yvonne was a prolific artist whose Toronto studio received over 400 commissions during its nearly 30-year run. A proud descendant of the pioneers who settled in Brome County, she frequently revisited the area and drew artistic inspiration from it.
