WOMEN’S INSTITUTE The speaker at the November meeting was Alan Endacott from Angel Stained Glass. Alan explained that his work has included replacing and repairing stained glass windows from churches and other build- ings as well as new commissions both private and public. He began his presentation with a brief history of stained glass which began predominantly in a Christian context in early monasteries such as Jarrow in the 7th century. Initially stained glass was used in small pieces of thick glass and dark colours, 'the jewels of heaven' as the light coming through them was important. From the Norman Con- quest stained glass was used for pictorial purposes in grand windows and to tell Bible stories to a mainly illiterate population. Unfortu- nately much stained glass was destroyed during the Reformation and again as a result of the English Civil War. Stained glass became important again in the 18th and 19th centuries, particu- larly with the Gothic revival; however many of the medieval techniques had to be rediscovered. Alan then went on to tell us how stained glass is made from the patterns through to incorpora- tion into windows. He demonstrated how to cut glass and the various tools used to paint it as well as those needed for the lead. Finally Alan showed us examples of his work which were very much admired. There will be no meeting in December as members will be going to the Christmas Dinner at the Arundell Arms. The next meeting will be on Wednesday January 8th at 2p.m in Lezant Church Room when Malcolm and Sylvia Wright will be talking about Charles Causley's Life of Poetry.
