South Chancel Window - Warmington Warwickshire

South Chancel Window - Warmington Warwickshire

This two-light window pairs an early-life episode of Christ with a post-Resurrection encounter, creating a deliberate theological contrast between recognition at the Temple and recognition in the garden.

Left-hand light:
The Presentation in the Temple shows the Christ Child received by Simeon, whose gesture and inscription articulate fulfilment and prophecy. The figures are tightly grouped beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy, emphasising the Temple setting and the moment of recognition as Christ is identified as the promised Messiah.

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: c. 1897–before 1939

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.
