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.

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.

Taureilles, François

Active: 1897

François Taureilles was a stained-glass artist active in the Auvergne during the first decades of the twentieth century. Based in Clermont-Ferrand, he supplied numerous parish churches in the region with new glazing programmes that combined traditional Gothic motifs with the luminous colour and clarity of modern French craftsmanship. His work belongs to the generation of regional ateliers that continued the revivalist spirit of the late nineteenth century while refining it through simplified design and a renewed emphasis on devotional legibility.

Tewkesbury Abbey

 

Between 1886 and 1892 John Hardman and Company designed a produced a number of windows for the nave of Tewkesbury Abbey. In addition to the large west window that show scenes from the life of Jesus, they also produced a number of other windows relating events in the life of Christ.
