The world’s first
stained glass car
Car brand BMW Mini and architectural
and design magazine Dezeen recently
showcased “provocative ideas” for future
travel, including the world’s first stained
glass car, at the “Frontiers – The Future of
Mobility” exhibition, part of the London
Design Festival. The vehicle was made by
designer and conceptual artist Dominic
Wilcox, who was inspired by a trip to
Durham Cathedral to create a stained
glass car, writes SUZANNE GALLOWAY.
Dominic explains that, in a future with
fully automated driverless cars, safety
features which largely determine the form of
today’s vehicles will become unnecessary,
so freeing up designers to create radically
different cars with unexpected materials.
“We don’t need the protection systems that
are built into contemporary cars. We can
just have a shell of any design or material.”
The apparent fragility of stained glass
demonstrates that freedom very effectively.
Dominic had another reason for using
stained glass. “I enjoy taking inspiration from
objects made in the past and placing them in
a new context in order to create something
we haven’t seen before. In the case of the car,
I knew that I liked the play of light through
coloured glass but that stained glass has an

association with being something of the past.
By taking the glass outside its usual context,
and working in three dimensions with it, I hoped
to give a fresh perspective on the material
and technique.” In another nod to the past,
the car used the wheels and boot handle from
Dominic Wilcox making the world’s first stained glass car.
The Glazier • Autumn 2014
the original Mini launched in 1959.
Dominic asked independent stained glass
artist Lynette Wrigley at Lead & Light Studio
in Camden to teach him basic stained glass
techniques. Middlesex University Product
Design Department staff and two of its recent
graduates developed the wooden chassis
that supports the glass. Working in stained
glass proved a steep learning curve for
Dominic. “It’s a really meticulous process and
there was a lot of improvisation going on.”
The artist chose to work with water glass.
“I liked the ripple of light that is apparent as
you move around the car. I also made sure to
keep the ripples running in the same direction
for each piece, which took a little more
concentration when marking and cutting the
glass. The bed is white and gives a good
backdrop to the glass. It’s amazing how
different the car appears depending on the
type of light it’s in.”
Dominic is open to the idea of working
with stained glass again. “Usually I start with
an idea and then decide what is the most
appropriate material and method to use to
make the idea a reality. It is possible that the
car will lead to using glass again in a future
project but it needs to be something innovative.”
The car is presently in Munich at BMW
World, but returns to the UK later this year. ■

The Master Glazier, John Dallimore (centre with white robe), processes with Masters of other livery companies to the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry for
the service marking the election of the Lord Mayor at Guildhall. At the election liverymen unanimously chose Alderman Alan Yarrow, a member of the
Glaziers’ Company, as the next Lord Mayor.
A valedictory message
from the Master
JOHN DALLIMORE reflects on his time as Master of the
Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass.
My year as Master has almost come to an
end and I will be handing over to my
successor, Alex Galloway. Despite regular
briefings from my predecessor, Michael
Broadway, the year has been far busier
that I imagined it would be. Apart from
attending all of our own social functions
and as many committee meetings as
possible, I will have represented the
Company at over 90 external functions,
ranging from lectures, church services and
military parades to receptions and
splendid banquets. It has certainly been a
very varied and most enjoyable year.
I hope that my social programme has
provided something for everyone, the events
have been well attended and we have been
blessed with fine weather for the outdoor
occasions, with only the first reception in
Burgundy being forced indoors by heavy rain.
In the Spring Edition of The Glazier I was
asked to set out my objectives for the year
and I hope that I have gone some way to
achieving all of them.
Limited resources
With relatively limited resources, we have
continued our charitable work and our support
for stained glass, with numerous grants given
Page 2
towards the cost of restoration of valuable
glass and our continued support for
education and training through the Stevens
Competition, the Award for Excellence and
other awards. In this we have been helped
significantly by a very generous donation from
one of our Past Masters.
Future apprenticeships
We have suffered a number of
disappointments in setting up the
Apprenticeship Scheme; however, I am
pleased to be able to report that we now have
our first apprentice undertaking a one year
course. We are hopeful that funding from the
Glass Academy will allow us to offer three,
three year apprenticeships in the near future.
We could not have done this alone and
thanks must go to the British Society of
Master Glass Painters for their assistance and
especially to Rachel Phillips of University of
Wales Trinity St. David, Swansea for her work
in writing the Apprenticeship Framework for a
Foundation Degree and a one year top-up
course.
I was pleased that we were able to host a
two day conference organised by the BSMGP,
while the chairman of the Crafts and
Competitions Committee, Assistant Andy Lane,
is currently working on forging closer links
with other key organisations in the world of
stained glass.
While researching my speech for the
Banquet, I came across the abseil in aid of
the Lord Mayor’s Charities. Wonderful!
Something that required no training, no real
fitness, could be achieved in an hour and was
very near to several hostelries. Thanks to your
generosity and that of my friends, almost
£4,500 was raised and I and my small band of
supporters were able to celebrate with a
glass of champagne less than an hour after
arriving at the Lloyd’s Building.
As a Company we continue to punch
above our weight in the City. This year Past
Master Geoffrey Bond was presented with a
Lifetime Award by the City Livery Club for his
contribution to the City over many years.
Liveryman Alan Yarrow will be Lord Mayor by
the time you read this, with a gift from the
Company to mark his year of office;
Assistant, Alderman Sir David Wootton has
been elected the 101st president of the
City Livery Club and of course Past Master
Brian Harris remains the Common Councillor
for Bridge and Bridge Without Ward. Also
within the City, Assistant David Stringer
Lamarre is chairman of the City Branch of the
Institute of Directors in succession to Sir
David Wootton.
Net increase
Membership remains a problem, although
there are signs that our efforts are beginning
to bear fruit and this year has seen a net
increase in membership. Importantly, many of
the new members are relatively young and
should provide continuity for many years to
come. We now have a sliding scale of
reduced quarterage in place for those under
The Glazier • Autumn 2014
40 and it is hoped that we will finally start to
attract people in this age group.
Our financial survival still depends on the
profits from Master’s visits and we will not
resolve this until we increase our
membership.
“Our financial survival still
depends on the profits
from Master’s visits and
we will not resolve this
until we increase our
membership.”
There have been many highlights in this
year, which I will never forget but I would like
to mention a few. First, the Treloar Christmas
Concert, which we hosted in December. It is a
truly moving experience to see such severely
disabled children brought alive by singing.
My only regret was that there were not more
Glaziers present to share the experience;
please put it in your diary to attend the next
Concert in December 2015.
We were invited to a day at the Weald and
Downland Museum by the Plumbers’
Company and I was fortunate to recruit Past
Master Phillida Shaw and David Whyman to
man our stand, which is in the same barn as
the Plumbers’ exhibit. We do not make enough
of our exhibit at the museum and I would like
to suggest to one of my successors that they
consider organising a day there.
Family atmosphere
Then, our recent dinner at the Great
Hospital during the visit to Norwich. The food
was good, the surroundings were interesting
and the company was excellent; however, what
made this a very special evening was that our
youngest guests were one and three years old!
Being Master of the Glaziers’ Company certainly enables one to enjoy the high life, but not always
as expected. Here John Dallimore abseils down the side of the Lloyds Building in aid of the
Lord Mayor's Charities.
Despite the best efforts by a number of people,
Steward Marc Church and his wife Katerina
were unable to find a baby sitter and brought
their immaculately behaved children to the
dinner. I am not sure if this is the first time
that this has happened at a Glaziers’ dinner
but if we are successful in recruiting younger
members, perhaps it will not be the last time!
I cannot leave office without thanks to a
number of people. First to my Stewards,
Marc, Peter, Rosemary and Gill and in
particular to Gill and Peter for their hard work

in a City-wide fellowship –
interview with the new Master
The Glazier • Autumn 2014
Q. You have described yourself in the past
as a “lifelong bureaucrat”. Well that
conjures up very negative aspects, and
there is the benign but “do nothing”
Sir Humphrey. Perhaps the alternative
perception applies: someone who devises
policies and shepherds people into taking
necessary decisions. Is this what you see
as utilising your skills and experience for
the Livery in your year as Master?
A. It’s meant to be a joke, of course. My CV
actually says “career civil servant” which I
often translate as “lifelong bureaucrat” in the
hope of a cheap laugh. But I wonder if an
incoming Master isn’t more of a Jim Hacker
than a Sir Humphrey? He or she is there only
for a year and, like a minister, could be seen
as only a temporary blip in the otherwise
smooth running of the Company!
Main skills
Alex Galloway, Master of the Worshipful
Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass –
the Livery has a much more ambitious social
programme than many other companies.
The main skills I think I acquired from my
time in Her Majesty’s service are a supposedly
diplomatic approach and some skill with
words – along, of course, with self-effacing
modesty. Those, I hope, may be useful,
though I have to say that in my experience
the Company always adopts a diplomatic,

ALEX GALLOWAY had a
distinguished career in the Civil
Service culminating in eight
years as Clerk of the Privy
Council. He subsequently
became Clerk to the Glaziers’
Company for five years and
then chief executive of the
Society for the Environment,
a chartered body for
environmentalists, from which
he has now retired. As the
Company’s new Master, he will

guidance; to the Assistant Clerk, Alison, for
her help, in particular with the trip to Norwich;
to a number of Past Masters for their
guidance and support; to my sometime
consort this year, Linda Pennington, for her
work in arranging the trip to Burgundy, and

team and take the Great Project forward
on a developing basis. How do you view
this situation?
A. I wouldn’t actually agree that there is much
stopping and starting again. As you say, the
system is designed to ensure continuous
involvement in the Company’s affairs, and I
am luckier than most in that, before my two
years as a Warden, I served for five years as
the Company’s Clerk. There has been a fairly
consistent view of the challenges facing the
Company and what needs to be done about
them, and a consistent thrust to our policies.

courteous and civilised approach to its
discussions. A minister I much admired (now,
alas, no longer with us) once observed that
honey is always better than vinegar. I shall try
to lay in a good supply.
Q. To take your answer above further,
being Clerk to the Livery gives one an
“outside” perspective, albeit an intimate
knowledge, of the way it works. What
outside perspective did you have during
your time as Clerk which members would
not have the advantage of and how would
you apply this to your role as Master?
A. Being Clerk gives you a sense of the
Company’s place in a City-wide fellowship.
Clerks get together and talk to each other,
and are always willing to help and advise their
brother and sister Clerks. Clerks also have
more opportunity than most members of the
Company to visit other Companies’ halls,
which is a great privilege.
Many of these halls have some very nice
glass, some of it put there by our members.
Those Glaziers who are also members of
other companies will know something of this,
and I should like to try to find opportunities
for more Glaziers to experience the wider
world of the Livery movement.
Charitable work
The educational and charitable work done
by livery companies is very significant, and it
is good to know that we are doing our bit as
part of a movement that is highly respected.
Like my predecessor I would like members to
know more about the charitable and
Page 4
educational work that is supported by their
membership of the Company.
Our Foundation is largely a heritage
charity, giving grants for the preservation and
conservation of important stained glass
throughout the UK and overseas. We also try
to encourage the supply of future generations
of glass artists and conservators through our
competitions, awards and placements, and,
I hope, through the long-awaited Livery
Companies Apprenticeship Scheme.
Perhaps less high profile is the work we
do to help young people. Because the hall
has a south-east London postcode we have
always focused our efforts in that direction.
We have a link with the South-East London
Army Cadet Force, and we recognise a cadet
and an adult officer every year with an award
and an invitation to the Installation Dinner.
Youth initiatives
The Company’s Thames cutter is moored
at the Ahoy Centre in Deptford and we make
it available for local youth initiatives. That is
why the cutter qualifies as a charitable fund,
and I would urge all members to make a
regular donation to it – the costs of mooring it
and maintaining it are quite heavy, but it does
a lot to develop the confidence and selfreliance of young people in a deprived area.
The main priority is pretty clear: we need
to attract more members if we are to continue
to provide what members expect at a price
that represents value for money. We currently
have 270 members. If we could increase that
number to 350 our financial position would be
transformed: we might even be able to
reduce the quarterage. Now there’s an
incentive to bring a friend into membership!
Despite our small size we punch well
above our weight, and we’ve been getting
better. We have a much more ambitious
social programme than many other
companies. Our magazine, under your
stewardship, has grown into an impressive
publication. Our website has attracted a lot of
favourable comments, and is about to get
even better. We are active on Twitter and
Facebook, which helps us to reach younger
potential members, and even the odd oldie.
“Despite our small size we
punch well above our
weight, and we’ve been
getting better.”
We’ve revamped our corporate image.
We’ve established key performance
indicators for membership and other essential
aspects. All this is done through the
enthusiasm and commitment of volunteers
from the Livery. We have only two permanent
staff, both nominally part-time, though I know
they are generous in their interpretation of
that phrase.
Voluntary efforts
It is through the efforts of Liverymen such
as David Stringer-Lamarre, Ian Chisholm,
Frances Smith, Michael Dalton, Elaine Burns,
the Stewards, you and a host of others, giving
freely of their time, that we have been able to
do all this. There has been no stopping and
starting. My predecessors have presided over
a remarkable period of development and I
hope to build on what they have done.
Q. What are your priorities during your year
as Master of the Worshipful Company?
Q. All Masters bring their own brand of
leadership and ideas to the job. It can be
a case of “stop and start again”, i.e. there
being no conscious development from the
previous Master’s time. This is somewhat
of a surprise as the Master and the Upper
Warden have the opportunity to work as a
A. To improve retention and recruitment rates,
to maintain the finances in as healthy a state
as possible and to provide a programme that
members will enjoy. As I have said this is
largely a matter of continuous development
rather than revolution.
The Glazier • Autumn 2014
Q. In relation to making the Livery an
“easier” or more welcoming organisation
to actively get involved in, what thoughts
have you on trying to encourage members
to participate more actively?
A. I’ve already given a number of examples
of what has been achieved through the
voluntary efforts of ordinary members.
There has been much more. In planning my
programme I have been touched by the
willing help I have had. Bill Apedaile has freely
offered his local knowledge and contacts to
help plan the visit to Durham in May. Dick
Bolton has provided tremendous assistance
with a trip to Rye and Winchelsea in July.
Peter Gladwin and his wife Bridget
encouraged me to include a visit to their
vineyard in Sussex. Caroline Swash was very
willing to follow up her lecture of a year or so
ago on post-war glass in the City by leading
a walk to show us some of it.
constructive suggestions are gratefully
received, and offers to help even more so!
Q. I know that you have tried your hand at
creating a stained glass panel during a
special course for members of the
Company. Do you now have a greater
appreciation of the achievements of the
stained glass practitioners of both
yesteryear and today?
A. Yes I certainly do. I spent three days
designing and creating a panel measuring a
mere 13" by 19", and it reinforced my
admiration of those who can produce full-scale
masterpieces. I’ve never had much skill with
my hands, and it speaks volumes for Helen
Robinson’s patience and teaching skills that I
managed to produce what I did. This Company
has a plethora of talented artists and
conservators, and I take my hat off to them.

My message to members is simple: this is
your Livery, and you can help make it what
you want it to be. If you think we should be
doing something more, something less or
something different then tell us. All

Cathedrals in the UK, but it has never been to
Durham, which is a most attractive city. With
the help of Bill Apedaile, we are putting together
a really interesting visit, and I hope as many
members as possible will want to come.
Beautiful city
I fell in love with Budapest in the 1980s
when it was still an Iron Curtain country, but
when relations were just beginning to thaw.
I regard it as one of the two most beautiful
cities in Europe (the other is Edinburgh).
Suzanne and I have really enjoyed planning
the visit, the main problem being what to
leave out. There’s a real treat in store for
anyone who hasn’t been there before; and
I hope old Budapest hands will also want to
see it again.
I’ve also tried to include in the
programme some unusual day visits, not
necessarily focused on glass. The pantomime
with dinner at the Brick Lane Music Hall in
January is a real treat, taking you back to
your childhood. I’ve already mentioned the
vineyard visit in June and the trip to Rye and
Winchelsea in July which includes some good
glass. I think there’s something for everyone,
and I hope members agree.

The story behind a
fundraising odyssey
The ability of the Livery to maintain its
Thames cutter, the Master Glazier, at the
AHOY Centre in Deptford, and for the whole
project to flourish despite all sorts of
challenges is down to the support of Livery
members (including via the Cutter Trust),
and the commitment of the crew (all ladies).
What gives the Master Glazier’s existence an
extra dimension is indeed the successful
interaction with the AHOY Centre, a
watersports based charity.
However, what truly keeps the Master
Glazier project afloat is the unflagging
enthusiasm and energy of the Livery’s
Honorary Bargemaster, Stephen Shaw, who
as secretary to the Cutter Trust is particularly
focused on the need to have adequate
funding – and the current appeal to members
of the Livery for funds is his initiative. But also
being aware of the value of the AHOY Centre
to the community he decided to raise money
for it via a sponsored walk. This wasn’t just
a walk for a few miles over a day, but an
incredible journey from the source of the
Thames in Gloucestershire to the Thames
Barrier in London.
Helped in the early stages with hospitality
and logistics from Susan and Stuart Lever, who
live in Gloucester near the Source and where
the Thames becomes navigable at Lechlade,
he met his target of £9,000 (including Gift
Aid) – although the fund remains open!
■
Stephen Shaw’s Thames Walk
I started on 11 August at the Source on
Trewsbury Mead at approximately 10.40 am
and finished on 22 August at the Barrier at
4.10 pm, with the walk split into two stages
(11-15 August and 18-22 August). I walked
some 190 miles. This is an estimate
allowing for access to and from points
enroute – unfortunately I lost my
pedometer on the first day! The second
day set the pattern to come.
On only just that second day I bought
some plasters, spray on Savlon and a “make
up” sponge to ease the pressure on my right
ankle. My left shin had felt strained the
previous evening so i was wearing my older
boots which had lacing going further up the
ankle and lower leg. I mention this as after
about 40 minutes of reasonable walking I
heard a “flap, flap” and, looking down, the
sole of the left boot was working loose. It
finally detached itself a further 10 minutes or
so. 15 minutes later, disaster – the right boot
sole came off. Effectively therefore the next
20 miles was covered in a thin pair of
moccasins – not comfortable and my feet
were not in a happy state at the end of the day.
have spoken more highly of the effort put in
by the volunteers who also benefit
tremendously from their involvement, as well
as the enjoyment and commitment of the
Shipmates – those attending the courses are
thus named.
“The centre is a charity
which aims to change
people’s lives and build
skills through sailing,
rowing and boat building
and maintenance.”
Life skills
The walk itself (in hindsight!) was fun and
definitely an experience. I was kindly
accompanied on various stages by my family
and friends. Their support was invaluable.
Equally they were kind enough to move along
at my pace – a long distance walker needs to
set a tempo to keep going ! Yes it was a long
way. However, when one splits the journey
into an average of 19 miles per day it is quite
achievable. The three longest days were 23,
24 and 21 miles. I think that I have lost some
weight!
So why did I let myself in for all this?
I decided to undertake this trek in aid of the
AHOY Centre having come into contact with
it some four years ago. The centre is a charity
which aims to change people’s lives and build
life skills through sailing, rowing and boat
building and maintenance. The courses
provided are aimed at giving opportunities to
disadvantaged and at-risk youth and disabled
of all ages on an equal level. People from
many walks of life are brought together as a
helping community. The programmes are
focused to teach transferable and employable
skills.
In fact when asking for sponsors I found
one couple whose son had a direct
connection with the centre. They could not
My attention was caught by a wide
variety of items of interest which kept my
mind suitably occupied. I will summarise
them as follows: Landmarks (for oarsmen) –
the boathouses of Radley, Abingdon, Shiplake,
Eton, Emmanuel, Hampton, St. George’s,
St. Paul’s, Westminster and even Dulwich.
Also the Oxford Colleges OUBC, Quentin,
Molesley, Thames and London Rowing Clubs
and others as well.
Then there were the birds – buzzards, red
kites, Egyptian, Canada and greylag geese
(in huge numbers), swans, heron, coots,
moorhens, ducks galore, grebe, green
parakeets, a kingfisher and a huge number of
Page 6
Rowing landmarks
small land based birds. And then other kinds
of birds, man-made ones: aircraft –
helicopters (many A 300s), the RAF’s new
transport giant, unusually a Canberra
(probably worth a good score in an I-spy
book!), and huge numbers of commercial
aircraft taking off from Heathrow, including
double-deckers.
There were lots of interesting boat names.
The most notable were: Chablis, Chinon,
Sancerre, Syrah and Jager Te (a hot drink
enjoyed after a day’s skiing!). Were these
trying to tell me something! There were also
pill boxes – along the upper reaches, the path
is marked by these boxes. I understand that
they were built in World War II as a line of
defence in case of invasion.
Place names
What did strike me was the frequent use
of the words “cot” at the end of a place name.
Along the Thames valley there are a number
of towns/villages with names ending with
“cot” – Buscot, Kelmscott, Radcot, Didcot,
Burcot and, of course, Ascot. There must be
a reason. I assumed that it has to do with
small hamlet.
Finally, there was the railway. On a
number of the stages one is aware of it – the
Great Western route to Bristol and South
Wales. It was designed in the first instance by
Isambard Kingdom Brunel. In conversation I
learned that the bridge at Maidenhead has
such a shallow span that the builders left the
wooden scaffolding in place thinking that the
construction was unsafe. Well shortly after
the completion the scaffolding sank four
inches into the Thames but the bridge
survives to this day! OK, Brunel you were
right all along!
Having averaged 19 miles a day and in
the process raised money for a worthy cause,
I finished with a clear feeling of personal
achievement and satisfaction.

Comment on
youth at
Court Dinner
The St. Matthew’s Court Dinner at Glaziers’
Hall was privileged to have as its guest
speaker Shaun Bailey, a leading British
Afro-Caribbean youth worker and
politician. He was delighted to be present
as guest of what he considered to be the
City establishment and praised the work
of the City and the Company in society.
He expressed the view both during his
speech and during the stirrup cup after the
dinner that the community he worked with
should not be asking “what can you do for us?”
but rather “what can we do for you?”. That
should be the way forward generally for the
youth of today.
Shaun Bailey is honorary colonel of the
South-East Army Cadet Force, which the
Company supports. He expressed a desire
for an ongoing relationship with the Glaziers.

Stained glass professional amateurs
are part of our social history
In his second and concluding article on the importance of the amateur tradition in stained glass,
H. TOM KÜPPER of the Glazing Department of Lincoln Cathedral puts the work of the “professional
amateurs” into the context of their social mission.
As I mentioned in my first article on this
subject in the Spring 2014 issue of
The Glazier, of course current stained
glass art is governed by the training and
skills of professional stained glass artists,
but we should nevertheless all recognise
the open-hearted enthusiasm of amateurs
in the past who loved stained glass and
wanted to not only make it part of their
own environment but also offer it as a gift
to others.
That is the nature of the work of what I
would term “professional amateurs”. Let us
now continue our story into the latter half
of the 19th century and see how their work
forms part of our social history.
Every stained glass window has a
message and tells a story as shown in the
following case of Reverend James Mansell,
who managed to place a couple of his
amateur windows in his new church of
St. Mark’s, Lincoln.
In 1872 the church was near completion
and most of the windows in the new building
were plain glazed. However, for the chancel
Reverend Mansell designed and made a set
of windows ready for when the building was
to be consecrated by the bishop.
Untrained novice
▲
Other than having an interest in historic
stained glass, Mansell was untrained and
a novice as far as designing and making
stained glass windows was concerned.
We may never be sure what had driven the
Rev. Mansell to design and make the
windows and we can only assume that
Mansell wanted to proclaim his faith and
spiritual devotion by placing something he
created himself into his new build church.
Please see Figure 3 for his colourful
window in the now demolished St. Mark’s
church, on which an inspection by the
Associated Architectural Society at the time
had mixed views: “The modern glass in the
east window is of rich general effect; but the
figure of Our Lord on the Cross is
disagreeably dirty.”
A group of windows which are of interest,
although having been altered over the years,
is the glazing scheme the Reverend Joseph
Holden Johnson devised for his church
St. Thomas à Becket, Tilshead in Dorset.
He inserted nine painted windows during the
restoration of the building in 1846 and the
glass shows some skilled abrading and
silver staining.
The general quality of the paint work
however has badly deteriorated over the
years, with some being almost completely
lost making the interpretation of the

and spiritual devotion.

iconography quite difficult. Reverend Holden
was untrained in the art of kiln work and he
simply did not know how high and how long
to hold the firing temperature in order to
permanently fix the vitreous glass paint onto
the glass surface, as is demonstrated by
Figure 4.
More of a family affair was the work of
Reverend Robert Miles together with his wife
Mary and their son Frank and daughter
Eleanor. The Miles’s embellished the church
of St. Mary and All Saints at Bingham with
their homemade carvings, surface decoration
and stained glass. Mrs. Miles was a keen
painter and artist and she was particularly
fond of lilies.
Intricate narratives
Her painted work between 1845 and 1884
is very reminiscent of the pre-Raphaelite style
with delicate ink-like drawings of intricate
narratives. All are painted on rolled cathedral
glass in order to give the artwork depth and
weight provided by the uneven texture of the
machine made glass. Please see Figure 5.
It is with deep regret that Mrs. Miles never
received the recognition she truly deserved
and the Architectural Society treated her work
rather anonymously: “The painted glass in the
church is for the most part the handywork of
one whose exquisite taste and artistic skill are
well known.”
It appears that a number of amateur
female glaziers were actively involved in glass
painting during the 19th century. These women,
often labelled as eccentric, were possibly the
vanguard of an increasingly educated and
emancipated female section of society.
“These women, often
labelled as eccentric, were
possibly the vanguard of an
increasingly educated and
emancipated female
section of society.”
These women laid the foundations for a
future generation of vocal women who were
demanding their equal rights campaigning as
suffragettes in the ever changing world of the
late Victorian era. Mary Lowndes, a
professional stained glass artist in her own
right, was such a pioneering character,
fighting against the social injustices of the
day by taking on the role of chairperson of
the Artist Suffrage League, a society for the
professional woman artist which formed in
1907.
Possibly the most prolific of all stained
glass amateurs to emerge during the mid
19th century were the Reverend Augustus
Sutton and Reverend Frederick Heathcote
Sutton. Between them the brothers produced
more than 45 windows in at least five
churches and one cathedral. They are
undoubtedly the archetypical “professional
amateurs” of the 19th century.
The iconography within the Sutton
windows is very intriguing, especially their
early work before 1872, and their glass
painting is quite distinctive in style. The
brothers were influenced by the Gothic revival

abrading and silver staining, but badly deteriorated paint work.
and they had the tendency to base their work
on designs of early English glass painting.
Seldom was there room within their work
for any fancy ornamentation or complex
architectural backgrounds, as is so often seen
in the professional workshops. By 1860 the
tastes of stained glass had changed and rich
ornamentation with a dramatic backdrop of
landscapes or intricate architectural
arrangements was the fashion.
The Suttons ignored all of this and
instead kept focusing on their bold and plain

designs not introducing any silver stain in
order to create highlights or to give a hint of
perspective. In fact delicacy and the
gentleness of a free flowing line within their
figurative designs were rather rare. It appears
that the brothers did not fully understand the
use of sensitive glass painting techniques.
Kiln ineptness
Furthermore their kiln work left a lot to be
desired. It is not entirely for certain if this was
an actual technique the Suttons adopted in
attempting to recreate the corroded surface
of medieval glass or just the total lack of skill
and an ineptness in their use of the kiln.
The leadwork is of equal disappointment.
Cames (the lead holding the glass together)
often run in an awkward fashion cutting
through the designs, creating sometimes odd
shapes and features. Many times the main
leads do not seem to line through with the
panels above or below. Some areas also
contain far too many leads where a few would
have been sufficient. However, after 1872
Frederick H. Sutton’s style changed
completely when he had some involvement
with C. E. Kempe.
There are still many questions unanswered
as to where the Suttons had their workshop
and where the supplies were purchased,
but most importantly who paid for all these
windows. Searching through archival records
there seems to be little evidence available and
The Glazier • Autumn 2014
it appears that the Suttons must have donated
most of their windows, perhaps manifesting
their faith by giving graciously to the community.
It must have cost them a small fortune.
One has to admit, Victorian amateur
windows are not the best the 19th century
has to offer but they have a life all of their
own with a certain kind of homemade charm
and warmth. If stained glass could have a
soul, these windows would certainly have
one. They are the good, the bad and the ugly!
“If stained glass could have
a soul, these windows
would certainly have one.”
Yes they are unlike the wonderful
windows we see in so many churches up and
down the country which were so carefully
designed and expertly crafted to the highest
standard possible. These are objects of
beauty and perfection, which are two a
penny, composed in large professional
workshops, and made by people working
nine to five to earn a living. The windows of
the professional amateurs tell an entirely
different story.
As conservation projects get underway to
restore some of the amateur masterpieces
the question suddenly arises: should we or
should we not spend all our valuable time,
expertise and resources conserving these
19th century stained glass windows of substandard quality? And then we realise that
these amateur windows are in fact an
important part of our social history, with every
window telling a very personal story.
Contact point
If any of the readers have any further
information or have come across stained
glass windows which were designed or made
by 19th century amateurs I would be most
grateful if you could get in touch with me
so as to add the details to my research.

Stained Glass
Centre gets going
SARAH BROWN writes: In the Spring Issue
of The Glazier, members of the Livery will
have read of the Stained Glass Centre's
successful bid to the Heritage Lottery
Fund. The generous grant has enabled us
to employ a part-time development officer,
Dr Judy Frost, who has been working with
great energy to set up and launch a new
Friends organisation.
The Stained Glass Centre, based in the
evocative and long-disused medieval church
of St. Martin cum Gregory, is developing as a
national resource for the discovery and
interpretation of stained glass. The building
has long been a destination for those
interested in this fragile medium.
As the Stained Glass Centre, it is
transforming into a venue in which residents,
students and visitors can explore, participate
in and learn more about one of the most
beguiling of crafts, one that continues to be
central to the heritage, culture and economy
of the city of York.
Now that the future of the building has
been secured for public use, a programme
of events is bringing people and new life
back into the building. If you would like to
join our mailing list and keep abreast of our
activities, please contact Judy Frost at

Salisbury study weekend
WILL SCHENCK, former interim manager and friend of the
Stained Glass Museum, describes its study weekend.
The Stained Glass Museum’s 2014 Study
Weekend based in Salisbury opened under
gloriously sunny skies at the Grasmere
House Hotel Thursday afternoon, on 24 April.
Our group of 40 were greeted on the
terrace overlooking the hotel’s lawns with
views across the water meadows to the
tower and spire of Salisbury Cathedral.
The hotel was to prove an attractive and
comfortable base of operations over the
next several days, come rain or shine. As is
characteristic of an English spring, we were
to wake to heavy rain the next morning.
But in the meantime we were able to
enjoy the afternoon sun with visits to
churches in Wilton and Lyndhurst in the New
Forest. The evening found us in the
cathedral’s chapter house for the weekend’s
inaugural dinner. It was wonderful to enjoy
this medieval space as the sun slowly set and
the surrounding 19th century grisaille glass
disappeared into the darkness.
Pleasant stroll
As already noted, the rain arrived by
morning and the pleasant stroll across the
close the previous evening became a sodden
journey back to the cathedral for what
proved, regardless of the weather, a
fascinating day. We were privileged to enjoy
the services of two cathedral guides (Roger
Ayers and Mike Deeming) specialising in the
history of the cathedral’s stained glass, both
medieval and modern.
The day proved a wonderful opportunity
to immerse ourselves in the momentous
history of the cathedral’s stained glass
programme. It culminated in the opportunity
to visit the cathedral stained glass studio and
hear first-hand from its director Sam Kelly
about the techniques being used to maintain
and conserve the cathedral’s stained glass.
Ambitious schedule
Saturday proved to be much drier than
Friday which was fortuitous since we had an
ambitious schedule which would take us by
coach across Wiltshire to Fairford in
Gloucestershire and back again. Along the
way we stopped off to visit an extraordinary
church in Lydiard Tregoze. Needing to get in
before a wedding, the vicar was incredibly
welcoming under the circumstances and we
were treated to a remarkable 17th century
time capsule.
Dominated by the monuments to the local
St. John family, pride of place was the painted
family polyptych (linked panels) displaying the
family’s genealogy. Over the altar, the 17th
century east window designed by Abraham
van Linge is another amazing survivor.
Although many in the group had over the
years made the pilgrimage to Fairford church
to see the early 16th century glass
programme still in situ, it is always a pleasure
to revisit. And for some others, myself
included, it was the first opportunity to see
something previously only known from
photographs. For all of us the presence of
Prof. Richard Marks and his generous and
knowledgeable commentary made the visit
even more extraordinary.
Charming church
The sun was now beginning to peep out
which boded well for the remainder of the
afternoon. Although, just as we descended
from the coach to make the walk to Meysey
Hampton, a single cloud decided to have one
last laugh and we had to scurry into the
charming church for cover. But it proved a
very pleasant way to keep out of the rain,
looking at surviving medieval fragments which
had only recently been returned to the church.
The last port of call took us up and into
the chalk downs past one of the famed white
horses to Edington Priory set amongst the
hills. The sun lit the church brilliantly, and hot
cups of tea were waiting for us inside. Once
again Prof. Richard Marks led us back into
time to appreciate this Augustinian priory
church, created by William of Edington, the
14th century Bishop of Winchester in his
home village.
Miraculous survival
The church seems to have miraculously
survived the worst excesses of the
Reformation. Perpendicular Gothic
architecture, sculpture and monuments, even
medieval stained glass windows were still in
place and all worked together to create a
quiet and contemplative conclusion to the day.
A contented band of stained glass
enthusiasts now boarded the bus to return to
the hotel for a final relaxed and enjoyable
meal. A marvellous and appropriate way to
digest the array of sights, the wonderful
stained glass we had all seen and the shared
experience we had savoured.

East African Railways and Harbours, helping
to develop a system to monitor and control
freight movements throughout the railway.
When he returned to England in the early
70s he eventually became deputy chief
executive of the Stock Exchange. He next
helped set up a new investment bank and
then a new stock broker, before moving to
Citibank to take charge of adapting its

The Court of Assistants is the ultimate

consisting of elected members (i.e. elected
by the rest of the Court), the officers and
various Past Masters sitting ex-officio.
Over time the intention is to introduce
(and in many cases reintroduce) individual
members of the Court to the Livery. Even
for those who know the subjects well,
there could well be some interesting facts
they weren’t aware of! This issue we look
at John Watson, Master for 2006-07.
There are probably not many members of
the Livery who know that John was born in
Cairo just before the Second World War and
evacuated to South Africa before being
brought back to South London. He read
English at Merton College, Oxford and then
started a career totally unrelated to his final
job at Coopers & Lybrand, which he left at the
time of the merger with Price Waterhouse.

Master Glass Painters, where he set up the
BSMGP Trust and obtained its recognition by
the Charity Commission. He has also been a
trustee of the Stained Glass Museum in Ely.
John says: “There have been many
changes during my 25 years as a Glazier,
but the one thing that does not change is the
warmth of the friendship within the Company.
Long may it continue!”

The Master’s Glaziers visit Gray’s Inn
visit to
Norwich
Norwich Cathedral is a cathedral of
“seconds” – it has the second largest
cloisters in England (Salisbury has the
largest), the second largest close and the
second largest spire – but this didn’t stop
the Glaziers thinking that their visit to
Norwich in October was anything other
than first-class. The visit to the magnificent
Palladium country house of Holkham Hall
with its breathtaking interior and contents
was absolutely first-class, as exemplified
by the personal welcome from Viscount
Coke, whose ancestral home it remains.
Glaziers assemble at the gates of Gray’s Inn for their visit.

The cathedral offered some fine examples
of stained glass artistry through time which
offered some welcome relief from the

transept of Norwich Cathedral.

The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn is
one of the four Inns of Court and where
40 Glaziers enjoyed a tour and lunch in
mid September, reports ANDREW
GORDON-LENNOX. To become a barrister,
lawyers must join an inn for a qualifying
period. Each inn is controlled by the
“Masters of the Bench”, elected from
within its numbers, who are also senior
members of the judiciary or Queen’s
Counsel. Gray’s Inn has 200 benchers.
The head of the inn, and Chairman of
Pension, is known as the Treasurer.
On arrival at the benchers’ entrance, we
were directed to the hall for coffee, and a
welcome from Brigadier (Rtd.) Tony Faith,
who is the Under Treasurer (a very similar job
to that of a livery clerk). He explained the
history and current role of the Inns of Court,
and how they are organised, before we were
split into groups for a tour around the 40
acres which the inn occupies.
sometimes gloomy interior of the Norman
construction, although three new modern
windows did not meet with everyone’s
approbation.
There was an extremely interesting visit to
the church of St. Peter Mancroft, the largest of
the 31 medieval parish churches in Norwich,
with its collection of medieval and renaissance
treasures, and some 18th century monuments.
Father Christopher Wood gave the party a
truly expert talk on the Great East Window.
The reception and dinner at the medieval
Great Hospital was a great success with the
Glaziers party bearing absolutely no
resemblance to the original beneficiaries of
the hospital when it opened in 1249 – aged
priests, poor scholars, and sick and hungry
paupers, who were dispensed food at the
gates and given accommodation.
This culminated in the chapel, where
amongst other treasures we admired the
Robert Anning Bell windows and heard the
story of their loss in wartime storage until
their recent recovery from the London Stained
Glass Repository in Glaziers’ Hall, and full
restoration by a team headed by our own
Court Assistant Caroline Benyon.
Remarkable charm
The charm and beauty of Gray’s Inn was
made all the more remarkable when we
realised that almost all that we had seen had
been either totally destroyed or at best very
badly damaged by bombing in the Second
World War. Although obviously busy, with the
offices and accommodation all around us
buzzing with the legal practices within, it was
at the same time a peaceful place which left
us all much refreshed – especially after the
excellent lunch enjoyed by all in the Great
Hall before we took our leave.
■
However, the party did benefit from
medieval-like sanctuary from the weather.
At the end of their evening walk to the Great
Hospital, just as they entered the venue, the
skies opened to produce a monumental
downpour which continued during the
evening – until the very moment the anxious
diners prepared to leave for their final night at
the 800 years old Maid’s Head Hotel in the
centre of the city.
River cruise
There was a talk of a more contemporary
kind by the captain of the boat on the cruise
along the River Wensum which gave the party
a useful breath of fresh air.
Much of the success of the visit was due
to the planning by the Stewards, in particular
Peter Campling and Gill Alston.

The Court paid tribute to his tireless
support of the Company, its charities and
in particular the craft. e.g. the Award for
Excellence programme.
ITALIAN LOOK. If you are in Glaziers’ Hall
late November to late December, you
could be forgiven for thinking you are in
Italy. But no need to pinch yourself. An

Duncan Gee becomes Upper Warden;
Sir David Wootton becomes Renter Warden;
Keith Barley becomes Senior Assistant
Proceeding; the new Stewards will be Pauline
Dunn (Master’s Steward), Helen Burns,
Giles Willson and Bill Apedaile (with Nigel
Rees as Reserve Steward). John Dallimore
will assume the position of Deputy Master.
Developing the
Ladies Lunch
concept
SUZANNE GALLOWAY writes: The Glaziers’
Company has been holding an annual
Ladies Lunch for many years and it is
generally well-attended. Plans are now
underway for the 2015 Ladies-only Lunch
(where Dr Liz Chapman, from the Women’s
Library at the London School of
Economics, has been invited to speak).
Aside from the Christmas Lunch, it’s now
the only regular lunchtime gathering in the
Glaziers’ events calendar. The Ladies Lunch
is popular with those perhaps who don’t like
the late night travel that formal dinners
involve and presents an enjoyable opportunity
not only for lady members but also the wives
of Liverymen and the widows of deceased
members to attend a more informal daytime
occasion.
Under review
However, as the make-up of the
membership changes, so the types of event
offered are kept under review. One new
member has already asked why we have a
ladies-only event, and the question has been
debated in the Membership, Social and
Development Committee. We want to be
inclusive and do the right thing by all members
of the Glaziers’ Company, and their spouses
and partners, who might also appreciate the
chance to attend a daytime or lunch event but
at present such options are limited.
The current honorary officers will continue
as they are, namely: Hon. Chaplain Revd.
Kevill-Davies, Hon. Solicitor Glenn Hurstfield,
Hon. Curator David Eking, Hon. Treasurer
Peter Clokey, Hon. Bargemaster Stephen
Shaw, Hon. Almoner Pam Goodwin,
Hon. Musician Past Master Michael
Broadway, Hon. Librarian David Whyman.
THIS SPACE COULD BE YOURS
The Glazier is going to try taking
advertisements from members of the
Livery, and the firms which they are
connected with. There will be two
sizes of advertisement space: the size
within this box taking up the width of a
column, or a larger size taking up the
same depth but going across two
columns.
The Clerk will be circulating details
(prices, measurements, etc.) while other
details about copy and any pictures can
be had from the editor. In principle, the
smaller space will probably be suitable
for just words, and the larger space can
include a logo and picture if required,
but it depends.
As we develop the concept,
assuming people do want to advertise,
we will all learn as we go along.
We have developed a pricing
structure which we hope is not only
competitive but is as friendly to our
members as possible. We would also
be happy to consider advertising from
organisations unconnected with the
Livery.
The Ladies Lunch is normally arranged
by the Master’s spouse. Suzanne Galloway
and Barbara Gee, the next two to be in that
position, would like to know what you think
so that this can be fed into future event
planning. If you have any views, please send
them to Suzanne (her email address is in the
Silver Book). She would be very grateful to
hear from you.
