The Arts Society Lecture: Stained Glass Windows

Chipping Sodbury Town Hall

The Stained Glass Windows of William Morris and Friends, by
Geri Parlby

At the height of the great Gothic revival in church architecture during the 19th century stained glass windows enjoyed a renaissance. Already famous for their innovative designs, William Morris, Edward Burne Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox-Brown were responsible for some of the most beautiful stained glass windows of the 19th and 20th centuries. This talk will look at the history of how ‘The Firm’ brought church windows to life with their new vibrant colours and sensuous designs. The languid faces of the saints and holy family often modelled on real life portraits of their friends and lovers.

We meet in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall at 10.30 for 11.00 a.m. and 1.30 for 2.00 p.m. Tea and coffee are available half an hour before the lectures.

Visitors welcome: £6. Booking essential - email below.
