Exquisite Embroideries to Glittering Glass

Women’s work has always been in our churches, but never more so than in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. We’ll discover work by women such as Theo Moorman, Veronica Whall, Mary Lowndes, Nora Yoxall and Nan Reid, among many unsung women whose work enriches our churches right up the present day.

Arts and Crafts Stained Glass

By far the most common type of Arts and Crafts work in England’s churches is stained glass. Starting with one of the most ground-breaking schemes, Gloucester Cathedral’s Lady Chapel by Christopher Whall, 1899, we’ll explore the works of designers from Henry Payne to Wilhelmina Geddes, following the thread of influence all the way up to the present day in the work of Thomas Denny.
