Stained Glass Course

The proposal for a course to be held in the Autumn Term at the Guildford Institute has now been made and it has a wider remit than the original now covering Church Stained Glass 1820-1920, mainly looking at examples from this period in the Surrey and North Hampshire area.

Details will be posted on www.polypodphoto.co.uk as and when known. In the meantime please let us know of your interest by email to: polypod@gmail.com

Victorian Stained Glass

An enjoyable course was held at the Guildford Institute last Thursday when we looked at Victorian Church Architecture & Stained Glass, using local churches in Surrey and N E Hampshire as examples of the Victorian Neo-Gothic style.

The group paid a visit to St Mary's to look at the examples of stained glass in the church, we then finished off the day with a look inside St Nicolas at the wall paintings and especially the excellent Clayton & Bell stained glass.

There was enough interest in the stained glass to propose a day course later in the year to cover the subject in more depth.
