One day I'll revise my description; I see that much of the glass is attributed to Clayton and Bell, one of my favourite stained glass manufacturers. The 3rd edition (2019) of The Buildings of England (generally known as 'Pevsner' after its original author) gives a lot more detail about Victorian stained glass than the 1st and 2nd. Much the best online source is https://www.stainedglassrecords.org/home.asp?NOC=NOC, which covers only the south-east so far, but that includes Herts. It lists every 19th/20th century window and the basics of what is known about them. Hope this is helpful.

Stained glass is often over-looked, but is very much part of historic fabric, even if most of it is Victorian. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391872622376112546noreply@blogger.com
