Stained
Glass Windows in St Thomas’ Church
The windows show some of the main events in the life of Jesus from his birth
to death and Resurrection.
The
flower decorations in the windows of the north and south aisles date from
1883. The four stained glass windows in the North & South aisles were
completed by the Bromsgrove Guild which was established in 1898 by Walter
Henry Gilbert. The guild not only produced stained glass windows, but anything
ornamental from memorials to their most noted contribution the gates at Buckingham
Palace
The
Minstrel Angel window is attributed to Archibald John Davies (1877 ~1953)
who was persuaded by Walter Gilbert to move his glass studio from Moseley
in Birmingham to Bromsgrove in 1906 so that all the various craftsmen were
in one place.
