About the Item

A magnificent and very large reclaimed religious stained glass window made by Osborne and Phillips in 1949. This spectacular window stands at over 2.2m (7 ft) tall and features a religious subject, beautifully captured in stained and hand painted glass. Jesus is depicted holding a child in his arms while blessing other children and their parents, dressed in vibrant shades of green, blue and red between two scrolls reading: “Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14). In this verse, Jesus is reaching out to children - a segment of society often considered insignificant - suggesting that, despite their vulnerability, children have as much to teach humanity as adults. Provenance Plymouth-based glassmakers Osborne and Phillips were established in 1941, but their history dates back to 1866 when the business was founded by John Thomas Fouracre as Fouracre & Son. They created this window in 1949 for Greenbank Methodist Church, Plymouth. A newspaper report (pictured) from the Western Evening Herald from the 29th August 1949 details two stained glass windows dedicated to the church on the Rev. Rolley’s last address as minister. When Greenbank closed, the two windows were relocated: the first to Lake Chapel in Shebbear and the second – this window – to Crockernwell Methodist Church.

Large 19th Century Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Window
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A large antique late 19th century Ecclesiastical style stained glass window signed by Ward & Hughes, London, 1890. This window is of excellent artistry, with each tiny detail hand painted by a late 19th century artist. The stained glass depicts a religious scene, thought to be Joseph being visited by one of the Lord’s angels in a dream. The angel told Joseph to not be afraid and take Mary home as his wife, because what was conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. The angel said they will call their son Jesus because he was to save his people from their sins. A piece of art showcasing such religious meaning, only deserves to be pride of place inside a home or property - perhaps even a new addition to a church or chapel. Ward & Hughes, London Ward & Hughes, based in Frith St, Soho, London, proved to be one of the most successful stained glass studios of its time, known for its distinctive style. It was initially a partnership between Thomas Ward and James Henry Nixon...
