Lincoln, Cathedral, Nave, South aisle, SXXXVII, Joseph, Frederick Preedy of Worcester, c1860
A window devoted to the life of Joseph and made by Frederick Preedy of Worcester. This is his only window in the cathedral, though he submitted a scheme to the Cathedral authorities for filling all the windows in the nave with a connected series of windows on Old Testament subjects. Preedy was an architect and Michael Kerney in his book on the stained glass designs of Preedy describes this as a major early window made by Preedy independently of George Rogers, the Worcester glass painter. The original design is in the Drawings Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Gordon Barnes in his booklet on Preedy dates the window c1853, possibly a tad early, but certainly it is before the c1860 date given in the MS Cathedral guide to the glass. Kerney the original ferramenta survived in this window and were made use of by Preedy.
