CEMETERY CHAPELS: MANUFACTURE OF THE NEW STAINED GLASS WINDOWS In the Sumer 2015 edition of this Newsletter, we heard how glass artist, Paul Floyd, had worked with students from Redhill Secondary School and Birmingham Metropolitan College to produce designs for two new stained glass windows (replacing original plain glass windows) at Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapels . The original approved small-scale designs In this edition we re-visit Paul’s studio to see how the students’ The increase in the scale of the designs were transformed into the designs and exploring the lighting actual windows.

The etching was then carried out by sandblasting and the extraordinary quality and detail, particularly in the reproduction in the windows of early O.S. maps of the area, was achieved by making a detailed negative stencil of the areas to be etched. Cutting glass and layout Paul had already decided that he wanted the roundels to contain exact representations of the students’ work rather than his own copies of their designs. He therefore began by scanning their artworks into his computer and prepared them to be made into a digital transfer for glass.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS STOURBRIDGE (Inc. Amblecote, Lye, Wollaston, Wollescote, Wordsley) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

Suggested citation 'Skidmore Families of the Black Country, the first five generations by Linda Moffatt at the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com'. Minor amendments were last made to this file by Linda Moffatt on 26 September 2016. This was originally part of the book Skidmore Families of the Black Country and Birmingham 1600-1900 by Linda Moffatt, published in 2004. It is an account of the first five generations of this branch. Throughout the fifth generation I have placed a note of the file to which the reader can go to discover descendants. These files can be found on the website www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. Superscript numbers next to the name of the head of household denote the generation to which he belongs, William Skidmore of Kingswinford parish (d.1664) being Generation 1. DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714.
