Barnsley - St Edward The Confessor Church, Kingstone
St Edward the Confessor, Kingstone, Barnsley.
East Window, 1936.
Memorial Window to Edward George Lancaster (1840-1934) of Keresforth Hall.
By Archibald Keightley Nicholson (1871-1937) of London.
To the Glory of God the glass in the east and west windows was inserted in memory of Edward George Lancaster Esquire of Keresforth Hall by whose generosity this church was built.
The East window dated from 1936 and, like the west window, is by the artist Archibald Nicholson. It is a five light window with tracery lights above. The window is full of detail including the Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Wakefield, Westminster Abbey with St Edward the Confessor, St Paul, Isaiah holding a book, King Davide with a harp and the Venerable Bede also holding a book. The main light shows the Crucified Lord hanging from a living tree.
By Archibald Keightley Nicholson (1871-1937) of London.
AK Nicholson was the brother of Sir Charles Nicholson and a pupil of Henry Wilson. He was thus initially skilled in crafts, including metalwork, and was largely self-taught as a glassmaker. After his death his studio continued under GER Smith and HL Pawle.
