A most interesting period of British stained glass


St John's Seven Kings is mentioned in a new Wikipedia entry for the artist Louis B. Davis. Davis designed the Nativity window at St John's, originally located in our baptistry and now part of our sanctuary.

The new entry has been compiled by researcher Gordon Lawson as part of his research into the work of Christopher Whall and his followers. Lawson started with Whall himself:
 
 
This led him to Whall's daughter, Veronica:
 
 
He then moved to Edward Woore, Margaret Chilton and Marjorie Kemp and Karl Parsons:
 
 
He plans similar works on Caroline Townsend  Mary Hutchinson, Arnold Robinson, Paul Woodroffe and a few others so that when he has finished he will have set out a reasonable source of research information on a most interesting period of British Stained Glass.

C4M webpage update

This week's commission4mission webpage posts were both about forthcoming exhibitions.

There was a reminder about commission4mission's very first exhibition which will be in the Pentecost Festival on Saturday 30th May at Westminster Central Hall from 12 noon - 6.00pm. David Hawkins, Harvey Bradley, Rosalind Hore, Henry Shelton and myself will be exhibiting.

Also, there were photographs of St Andrew's Leytonstone where our summer exhibition will be held. St Andrews contains windows by noted stained glass artist Margaret Chilton, banners and a window by Hilary Davies and Stations of the Cross by Lewis Davies. Our exhibition will therefore complement a space in which art already plays a significant role.
