[47164] Ecclesfield : Jackson Window
St Mary, Ecclesfield, Sheffield.
Memorial Window to Henry Jackson FRCS, Sheffield General Infirmary (1806-1866).
By Hardman & Co, c1866 - detail.
John Hardman was one of the pioneers of the stained glass revival of the 19th century. His Birmingham-based operation started out as an ecclesiastical metal works, but, at the suggestion of AWN Pugin, the business expanded into glass manufacture in 1845. Pugin designed for the firm until his death in 1852 when this role passed onto John Nardman Junior's nephew John Hardman Powell (1827-1895). The firm was renamed John Hardman Studios in about 1939, at which time Donald Battershill Taunton (1886-1965) and Patrick Feeny (1910-1995) were designers. Able to move on from the Victorian and Edwardian Gothic Revival styles, the firm survived and still exists under the same ownership as Goddard & Gibbs, though in different premises in Birmingham.
