The Jesse Tree Window in the Corona Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral Canterbury Cathedral: The Jesse Tree Window in the Corona Chapel The conservation of the medieval stained glass 2010-11 © Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. Author: Leonie Seliger, Head of Stained Glass, Canterbury Cathedral 2/14/2012 The conservation of the Jesse Tree window in the Corona Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral 1. History of the glazing The Corona Chapel at the easternmost end of Canterbury Cathedral contains five tall lancet windows. Of the original glazing little remains; only the east window retains most of its stained glass. Two figures of a Jesse tree which showed the genealogy of Christ are currently housed in the north-facing window nIII. The two surviving panels of the Jesse Tree window (the Virgin and Josias) are an extremely rare and artistically as well as technically sophisticated treasure. Images of the Virgin in particular are rare survivors in England, as they were routinely targeted for defacement and destruction during the iconoclasm events of the Reformation and Puritanism. Indeed, this is the only intact medieval representation of the Virgin in Canterbury Cathedral. In the absence of contrary evidence it can be assumed that the two figure panels originated in the chapel, albeit not necessarily in this particular window. The seven ornamental border panels that surround them most likely come from window nIX in the north-east transept of the cathedral. The upper portion of the window is glazed in plain diamond quarries. The Corona Chapel was built to house the relic of the skull fragment (the ‘corona’) of Thomas Becket. Offerings received suggest that this relic was translated there by 1198, more than twenty years before the translation of the saint’s body from the crypt into the Trinity Chapel. The history of the building as well as stylistic analysis suggest a date for the Jesse Tree of ca 1200. The tree would have without doubt originally filled an entire lancet window. The earliest mention of the glass dates to 1841, when the two figure panels were recorded by Joyce in the east window of the Corona Chapel, the ‘Redemption Window’. They may have been installed into that window in 1661, when repairs were carried out, to fill gaps left by the iconoclasm of the 1640s. In 1848 Charles Winston referred to them as ‘part of a Jesse tree’ and placed them amongst the earliest glass in England. In 1853, George Austin Junior restored the Redemption window, and supplied new glass for the areas that had been previously ‘patched’ with the figures from the Jesse Tree. In 1861 he created a new Jesse Tree, based upon the two surviving figures, and placed the new stained glass into the window adjacent to the East Window. The two medieval figure panels remained in store until they were sold to Philip Nelson in 1908 for £26. The panels were The Jesse Tree window in the Corona Chapel returned to the cathedral in 1953. The glass was dismantled from the in 2008, with a close- medieval lead matrix, cleaned, and re-leaded. The remnants of the medieval up showing the internal lead were mounted on card and archived. The stained glass panels were surface installed into window nIII of the Corona Chapel without any protective cover. They remained fully exposed to the elements until their removal for conservation in August 2010. 2. Condition The glass and its painted decoration were in remarkably good condition when they returned to Canterbury Cathedral in 1953, but it was obvious that they had suffered serious new decay since the panels were re-installed in the Corona Chapel. Fresh corrosion products both internally and externally indicated active deterioration, as did the evidence of loose and flaking glass paint. Fractured pieces were in danger of falling out of the lead matrix. In several places backing plates had been inserted to provide support for badly fractured glass. As the sealant between original glass and backing plate had failed, water had penetrated into the interspace, causing new and rapid corrosion. The internal surface of all panels was covered in dirt and dust deposits, which provide a basis for microbial attack. The 1953 lead matrix was in sound condition, as was the medieval iron ferramenta frame, although its paint finish was failing. The ferramenta are held in place by an oak frame which is wedged into the stone rebate of the window. Condensation run- off and leaks were beginning to affect the lower parts of the oak frame and the stonework at the window’s sill. New corrosion products, fractures, decaying paint 3. The conservation and protection of the medieval glass All nine medieval panels were removed from the ferramenta frame in August 2010. The glass was taken to the stained glass conservation studio at Canterbury Cathedral and recorded photographically, before each panel was inspected in detail on the bench with the aid of microscopes. A comprehensive condition report was compiled for each panel, including information on previous restoration and on the current interventions. Photographic recording Compiling the condition report and cleaning of surfaces under the microscope The panels were carefully cleaned under the microscope, using only tiny sable brushes and the tips of scalpels. No chemical or wet cleaning was undertaken, and neither was the glass dismantled from its lead matrix. The old backing plates, which had created such detrimental conditions for the glass they were meant to protect, were removed, and the fractured pieces were edge-bonded and stabilised with the addition of copper wire supports. This resulted in some gaps between lead and glass. Those gaps were filled with lead wool to prevent the oily residue that traditional linseed oil putty would bring to the medieval glass. Cleaning, edge-bonding, securing glass with coiled lead wool Once the panels were stabilised, a rubbing was taken from each to provide a basis for the design of the outer protective glazing. The protective glazing was made to resemble the stained glass from Manufacture of protective glazing the outside, in order to reduce the visual disturbance to the building as a whole. Each protective glazing panel is essentially a clear colourless version of the historic stained glass panel, with a simplified lead matrix based upon the original. Meanwhile, a very precise template was made of the medieval iron ferramenta frame which had held the stained glass panels in place. This template was the basis for a new replica ferramenta frame that would hold the historic stained glass in the future. The original ferramenta frame was stripped of its 1950s paint and repainted, while the small wedges and support bars that hold the panels in place were stripped and then oiled. Cleaning the iron wedges and bars of the support structure After the ferramenta was treated, a new wooden frame was installed on the inside, which not only held the aging oak frame in place, but which would eventually receive the new replica ferramenta, made by a local traditional blacksmith. A new condensation tray and lead sill was also installed to prevent further water damage to the sill. Support bars and installation of protective glazing into the medieval ferramenta frame Once all these elements were in place, the protective glazing panels could be installed into the original medieval ferramenta. They will provide the external weather shield for the historic stained glass from now on. The replica ferramenta frame is being installed on the protected interior of the window The cleaned and consolidated medieval glass panels were then installed into the new replica ferramenta frame on the inside of the window, with a distance of ca 60mm or slightly over 2 inches between the outer protective glazing and the inner stained glass. Ventilation gaps at the top and the bottom pull air from the inside of the Corona Chapel into the 60mm interspace between the outer and inner glazing. This ensures that the precious medieval glass is protected not only from rain and wind, but also from the danger of developing condensation on its corroded and fragile surfaces. The medieval stained glass is installed into the new ferramenta frame The installation of the medieval glass behind its new protective glazing took place in October 2011. The corrosion which had been so clearly active and rapid will now progress at a very much slower rate, which is expected to be below measureable. With regular minimal maintenance to ensure that the protective glazing remains sound and the internal surface is dusted once every few decades, the precious early glass is now preserved for many more centuries to come.

About stained glass • Stained glass is simply coloured glass but the term stained glass is normally used in referring to pictorial windwos such as are to be found in some churches. The colours are produced by adding a metallic oxide to the glass. • The means of colouring glass was understood in the early years of the Common Era. The earliest stained glass in Europe has been found at Jarrow at the monastery where Bede lived, prayed, taught and wrote.

While looking at various narratives – predominantly about saints in historical and contemporary contexts – attached to these cathedrals, I also aim to offer some glimpses into how people interact with and relate to space. I argue that beliefs and narratives about saints play a significant role in the pil- grimage culture of the cathedral. I will also explore how the lack of a clear central narrative about the saint leaves a vacancy that will be filled with various other narratives. KEYWORDS: saints • cathedrals • pilgrimage • Canterbury • Durham • York INTRODUCTION This article* will explore how three medieval cathedrals – Canterbury, Durham and York – present their saints and shrines, and how visitors react to and interpret them. * This research was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (grant num- ber AH/ L015005/1).

Edward Newenham Hoare, Eector of Acrise, I learn that the Communion. Vessels used in St. Martin's Church, at Aerise, are (i.) An Elizabethan Cup (1562) of Silver, with Cover; (ii.) A Silver Paten (1702) ; (iii.) An old Alms- plate of Pewter; (iv.) A modern Magon of Glass; and (v.) a mo- dern Alms-dish of Wood. The CUP is 6 inches high, and 3J inches in diameter at the- mouth. Upon its bell-shaped bowl are engraved two horizontal belts, each formed of sprigs of woodbine running between two fillets which interlace three times, at points equi-distant from each other. The fillets are filled with plain JP"-Kke chasing. The stem has a knop, formed of one large round moulding between two smaller ones. Immediately above and below the stem is a moulding of small con- tiguous lozenges. The foot is simply moulded. Near the mouth of the cup, in the upper belt of engraving, are four SALL-HARKS— (i.) badly impressed; perhaps a star; (ii.) leopard's head crowned; (iii.) lion passant; (iv.) date letter $ for A.D. 1562-8. The COVER to this cup has but one MASK, which appears upon its rim. It seems to be L.O. with a small cross or mullet beneath it. The cup and cover together weigh 9-| ounces avoirdupois. The PATEN, 5£ inches in diameter, is of the purer quality of silver called New Sterling, and stands on a central conical foot.

  • Burne-Jones, Morris, and God Christine Poulson
    Burne-Jones, Morris, and God Christine Poulson The nineteenth century was a time of religious turmoil. Not since the Reformation had shades of belief and points of doctrine been the subject of such heated debate. le was scarcely possible for middle-class young men not to be caught up by the shifting currents of religious controversy in the 18405 and 1850s. In some ways the experiences of Edward Burne-jones and William Morris offer a microcosm of the fragmentation of religious consensus in the mid-century: an evangelical upbringing, conversion to Anglo 4 Carholicism, the lure of Rome, the attractions of Christian Socialism, and, in Morris's case, doubt and ultimately loss of faith. Accounts of their work and life often fail fully to consider the legacy of their evangelical childhoods and their passionate Anglo-Catholicism as young men. Morris himself played it down, no doubt feeling the incongruity of his aspirations to the priesthood from his later perspective as a socialist. But for both men the vivid religious experiences of their youth had a far-reaching effect on their later lives which is worth examining in some detail. Burne-Jones and Morris were born into evangelical families. The evangelical movement had been instigated by John Wesley in the mid-eighteenth century and had resulted in the founding of Methodism as a break-away movement from the Church of England. By the early nineteenth century the fervent piety of the evangelical movement also dominated the Anglican church and had penetrated deep into the fabric of English life. Evangelicals appealed to the scriptures as the source of religious authority, believed in justification by faith, and the power of personal conscience.
