Stained Glass

 

Founded as Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company in 1861 by the socialist artist and designer William Morris along with Ford Madox Brown, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Peter Paul Marshall, Philip Webb, Charles James Faulkner, and Edward Burne-Jones. The company initially concentrated on ecclesiastical decoration including stained glass, and architectural carving from premises in London’s Red Lion Square, but moved to Queens Square, Bloomsbury in 1865.

 

The centre of Neufchâtel-en-Bray was almost completely demolished during heavy German bombing on June 7, 1940. Some 800 of the towns 1200 houses were destroyed. The church of Notre-Dame, dating from the twelfth century was severely damaged, and almost all of the stained glass windows from the 13th century shattered. These windows have now been recreated from drawings and descriptions that were made in the 1930s.
