Saints and Cathedrals - Stamford, Lincolnshire

This four-light window, at All Saints Stamford, dated 1897, was executed by C. E. Kempe & Co. and presents the patron saints of four major English cathedrals: Lincoln, Peterborough, Lichfield, and York.

Each saint stands beneath elaborate architectural canopies, with heraldic devices displayed below and cathedral associations indicated by inscriptions.

Saints and Patriarchs - Salisbury Cathedral

The sequence of stained glass windows depicting the male saints and patriarchs of the Bible, designed by Henry Holiday and made by James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass) in 1891, forms one of the most coherent and dignified ensembles within Salisbury Cathedral’s late Victorian glazing scheme.

Saints and the Te Deum - Stamford, Lincolnshire

This monumental six-light west window, installed in 1888, was executed by Clayton & Bell ⓘ and commissioned by Edward Ingersoll Browne of Boston, Massachusetts, in memory of Charles Browne, descendant of the fifteenth-century Browne family of Stamford. It consciously recalls the Browne family’s late medieval patronage of the church.

The programme follows a hierarchical structure consistent with the hymn Te Deum laudamus, uniting angels, prophets, saints, and narrative scenes in a vertical theological progression.

Saints George, Peter, and Margaret - Market Bosworth Leicetershire

This stained glass window by Charles Eamer Kempe, at St Peter's ⓘ Market Bosworth Leicestershire, is an example of late Victorian Gothic Revival art, depicting Saints George, Peter, and Margaret in three tall, richly colored panels. Each saint stands beneath an elaborate architectural canopy, rendered in delicate tracery and glowing jewel tones that catch and filter the light with remarkable depth.
