He attended Clifton College and the Royal West of England Academy followed by an apprenticeship with the stained glass artist Christopher Whall. It was in Whall’s studio that he met and befriended the glass designers Karl Parsons and Edward Woore. During World War I he initially enlisted in the Artists Rifles and was then released from military service to manage a shell factory and to act as an Air Raid Warden in Bristol. Three of his four younger brothers were killed in the Great War. Working with Woore he undertook commissions from the Bristol based stained glass firm of Joseph Bell & Sons. Much of the work was for West Country churches, one of the more prominent commissions being the Civil Defence windows for Bristol Cathedral. He later became a director of the firm and, in 1923, the eventual owner. He was heavily involved with the Bristol Guild of Applied Art, which had been established in 1908. In 1918 he and two others purchased the Guild and ran it as a business making it one of Bristol’s most successful shops and Arts centre.

Stained Glass Windows Stained Glass and Banners • Stained glass windows and banners bring colour to a church. They also remind people of stories in the Bible or of important truths. • Before TVs or LCD projectors, stained glass windows could be used as visual aids.

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.

Arts & Crafts Stained Glass
Event Review: Summer lecture Friday 19 June : ‘Exploring Arts & Crafts Stained Glass: a 40-year adventure in light and colour – an illustrated lecture’ by Peter Cormack he lecture was an introduction to some of the main themes Tof the speaker’s newly-published book, Arts & Crafts Stained Glass (Yale University Press for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art). He began by saying that his discovery of this rich field of research had begun when he was a student at Cambridge in the 1970s, and had developed particularly during his thirty years working as a curator at the William Morris Gallery in London. He paid tribute to the work of other scholars in the field, especially Martin Harrison’s V ictorian Stained Glass , Birkin Haward’s two books on 19th-century glass in Norfolk and Suffolk and Nicola Gordon Bowe’s studies of Irish stained glass. He also emphasized the critical importance of ‘field-work’ – actually going to the places where windows are located to see them in their architectural context. He felt that the internet, with its wealth of images, could sometimes deter people from studying stained glass properly. This was why the BSMGP’s conferences, with their focussed study-visits to churches and other sites, were such a valuable exercise. He then took us through the main narrative of his book, beginning with the pioneers who, from the late 1870s onwards, had championed stained glass as a modern and expressive art form, instead of the formulaic and imitative productions of firms like C. E. Kempe. Henry Holiday was one of the most effective campaigners against commercialism and historicism: his windows Christopher Whall: detail of window in Gloucester Cathedral Lady Chapel, 1901 feature superb figure-drawing combined with a real knowledge of his craft.

Very sensibly they have not only proposed a scheme for the rear of the church, but also a comprehensive plan of restoration. Like many such buildings, it has been added to and adapted to meet the changing demands of liturgy, convenience and prevailing theological There is a great spirit of optimism and community within the parish and fashion. It has acquired over the centuries a handsome square tower, if any group can raise the money to pay for what is proposed, we can. but has lost the distinctive Hertfordshire ‘spike’ that originally topped it.

St Nicholas’s Church, West Lexham Address : St Nicholas’s Church, West Lexham,PE32 2QN Further details : See www.achurchnearyou.com or www.norwich.anglican.org General Information This pretty church of medieval origin was in a dilapidated state before it was almost completely rebuilt and redesigned by the architect Arthur Blomfield in 1881. Nevertheless it does retain a number of its earlier features including an imposing 14th century tower, and a simple 15th century font. Apart from an evocative WWI memorial window to the memory of Frank Beck, and his Norfolk Regiment, the stained glass was all made by Heaton Butler & Bayne. All Windows apart from North Aisle Window 1 These windows were all This window was designed by the firm of Heaton Butler and Bayne who were one of the largest and most prolific of the 19th Century craftsmen, particularly noted for the brilliance of their High Victorian work produced in the 1860s. • The East Window is undated. The central light shows Christ’s crucifixion. He is flanked by the Virgin Mary and St John • The South Chancel Window 1 is undated. The main lights depict the evangelists St Luke & St John. In the tracery lights above the former are a palette referring to the tradition that Luke was a painter and what appears to be a physician’s bag referring to his profession as a doctor.

2011 Wirral Conference
2011 BSMGP CONFERENCE: THE W IRRAL brother of H J Salisbury, who is better known as a portrait painter and whose biggest window is at Wesley’s Chapel, London. Another is by Henry Gustave Hiller, who was born in Manchester and was apprenticed to a draper there before starting his own firm in Liverpool. Finally, in the NW corner is a small window by Trena Cox, the first of many on this tour (detail right). On then to Liverpool Cathedral; we began in the Lady Chapel where Peter Cormack drew attention to the decorative detail: the wood carving and altarpiece by Walter Gilbert (who cofounded the Bromsgrove Guild) and stone carvings and metalwork by E. Carter Preston, designer of the ’dead man’s penny’ (a medallion given to families of soldiers killed in WWI) and the armature for the glass. Peter also pointed out that Scott had developed his own version of ‘Gothic’: not Gothic Revival but a living interpretation of the medieval, as in the US ‘modern Gothic’ he fine start to September’s weather this year bode well for (Princeton Chapel being a reduced version of this church). Our Tan enjoyable trip cross country to the Roman city of Chester attention was also drawn to the use of ‘Minerva glass’ – the for the autumn gathering.

2016 Salisbury and Hants
Salisbury walk with Andrew Taylor, 16 July good-sized group of 11 people and three cars met in ASalisbury with a view to walk and talk about stained glass past and present. Our first stop was St Mary and St Nicholas, Wilton – a northern Italian Romanesque style church with, above the central portal, a stunning rose window in striking blues and purples with a ring of heart-shaped tiny windows around the rose window itself. On closer inspection with the help of Andrew's camera, we could see the delicate painting of angelic figures playing instruments and a fine colourful painted shield in the centre. We also saw a set of windows from the 12 –13th centuries that were probably from St Denis and the Ste Chapelle, and also German and Flemish glass (left), more info on which can be found in Pevsner. Onward by car swiftly to St George at Harnham, a very interesting church where most of the glass was designed and/ or made by Eleanor Warre (1862 –1936), whose sister Nellie also designed stained glass; it was reminiscent of the Arts & Crafts movement in the leafy patterning of the background in a richly coloured and beautifully designed chancel window. Other small painted windows, possibly by Eleanor Warre. Well worth a visit. Before lunch we went to St John's church, West Grimstead, a quiet small of the beaten track church with a roof that nearly touches the ground outside. This is where we stopped a while and listened to Andrew Taylor talking about one of his windows in this church (top right).
