About This Book

A chronological catalogue of stained glass commissions executed by Thomas Willement, listing dates and locations across Britain, describing designs—armorial windows, portraits, religious figures, ornamental borders, and restorations—placed in churches, colleges, private estates, and royal or civic buildings. Each entry notes patrons, heraldic devices, subjects copied from earlier works, and occasional presentations, with details of composition such as shields, crests, mosaic grounds, and altar or staircase placements. The account emphasizes craftsmanship and provenance by specifying commissions, donors, and where panels were installed or transferred.

1824.

CLUMBER. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

THE SEAT OF
HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, K.G.

Three windows for the principal staircase, filled with shields of arms, badges, &c., shewing the descent of the family; on grounds of rich mosaic patterns, and ornamentally bordered.

TYLDESLEY. LANCASHIRE.

For the church of St. George, three large lancet openings; in the centre one, the figure of Christ bearing the cross, copied from the altar picture in the chapel of Magdalen College, Oxford; the two side openings filled by shields of arms, shewing the alliances of the family of Johnson. These windows were presented to the church by George Ormerod, Esq., F.S.A. A lithographed print was executed of these windows, but from the carelessness of the printer but very few impressions could be taken off.
