Atkinson Bros Reclaimed Stained Glass Church Window

About the Item

A vibrant and highly-detailed stained glass church window designed by early 20th century stained glass manufacturers, Atkinson Brothers of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and manufactured by Hartley Wood & Co Glass Works. This impressive reclaimed stained glass panel once resided in the vestibule/porch window of the former Thornhill Methodist Church, Sunderland (renamed the Burn Park Methodist Church, Sunderland). The church was built in 1902-1903 by TR Millburn and JE Miller, who later went on to build Sunderland’s Empire Theatre which opened in 1907. In recent years, the church was sold, deconsecrated and the stained glass windows carefully removed. This is one such window from the removal. This ecclesiastical window, with ogee panel to the top, details an angel trumpeter before a rich blue stained glass backdrop, above an archway and Gothic architectural columns. With its vibrant colours, incredible detail and unique provenance, this antique stained glass window will make a striking statement in any property, telling its story for years to come. Atkinson Brothers Stained Glass Brothers William, Frederick and Albert Atkinson established Atkinson Bros on New Bridge Street, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in 1876. Designers of stunning stained glass windows, the brothers soon became one of the most well-known stained glass makers in the North East of England. Examples of their work can still be found in Newcastle Cathedral, Hexham Abbey and other ecclesiastical buildings of the region to this very day. Works have even been exported as far as Australia. Some of the firm’s most notable commissions came during the 1920s when memorial windows were made following the First World War. Following the death of two the founding brothers, Albert Atkinson sold the business to Reed Millican in early 1930s. Height: 74 + 41 cm
