This memorial window-light for Henry Grattan White can be found in the east gable of Kirk Maughold. It is the right-hand light in the large central window behind the Altar.
"Parts of the walls [of the church] are twelfth century..." including parts of the east gable however the large central window is a later replacement as can be seen by the contrast in the quality of stonework with that surrounding the two small windows to the left and right.
