This extensively researched volume examines the flourishing of stained glass artistry in 19th century Suffolk, England. Author Birkin Haward first provides context by surveying the Gothic Revival’s stimulation of stained glass on the national level. He then makes a detailed local study of Suffolk’s glass, aided by an exhaustive gazetteer documenting facts on existing windows in every church. Biographies profile the county’s eminent glass painters like the King brothers of Ipswich, Woolnough of Framlingham, and Allen of Lowestoft among others. As Apollo magazine states, Haward’s specialist expertise and thorough approach make this an indispensable reference for 19th century English stained glass. His masterful work illuminates both a captivating art form and the artisans who enriched Suffolk’s ecclesiastical heritage.
