Tomb in memory of Sarah Baroness Braye (d1862) by Mary Thorneycroft.
Born in St. Albans in 1909 Francis Skeat was a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the British Society of Master Glass Painters, and a member of the Art Workers Guild. He created over 400 stained glass windows for churches and cathedrals both in the UK and abroad.
The south window of the chancel at All Saints, Middleton Cheney, contains two important stained-glass panels designed by Ford Madox Brown in 1870, created during his period of work for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. These windows are among the finest surviving examples of Brown’s contribution to Victorian ecclesiastical glass, characterised by his expressive figures, sculptural modelling, and dense narrative detail.
Medieval panels dated between 1330-1350 of three saints.
St Anne teaching Virgin to read, St. Agnes, and other female saints. Early C14 (1330-1350).
Three female saints 1330-1350. Two are unidentified the middle figure is that of St. Agnes.
Wall paintings of St Christopher.
The north-aisle east window at Middleton Cheney contains two major stained-glass figures designed by Ford Madox Brown in 1880 for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. These works represent some of Brown’s finest ecclesiastical contributions and exemplify his distinctive approach to figural design, which differs markedly from that of colleagues such as Burne-Jones.
Early C14 (c1330-50) figures of St. Margaret and bishop.
