James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.

East (Apse) Window.
By Shrigley & Hunt, c1912.
To the Glory of God and in memory of Lieut-Colonel John Henry Arthur Boyce, born 14th November 1863, died at Lucknow 23rd Oct 1911 whilst in command of the 1st Battalion The King's Own Regiment. This window was given by his widow, his brother and sisters and by all ranks of the Battalion.
Hudson, Shrigley & Co were originally church decorators in Lancaster. In about 1871 they employed Arthur Hunt as the company manager. He was from Hertfordshire and had trained as a stained glass maker with Heaton, Butler & Bayne. Within 8 years, Hunt had taken over control of the company, employing talented artists like Carl Almquist and Edward Jewitt. Almquist became the company's chief designer in 1873 and from 1879 was working mainly from their new London studio.
Most of the company's work can be found in the North of England but they were one of the pre-eminent manufacturers of stained glass in the 19th century. They worked with many of the major architects of the day. The company ceased trading in 1982.
Window by Powell's c1912 on the north side of the nave.
St Thomas's at Catthorpe is a church on a small scale, with a diminutive west tower, an aisleless nave and a Victorian chancel (with an incongruously steeply pitched roof). It isn't easy to stand back and get a full shot of the building as the churchyard is set back behind properties on the road-front (from where one approaches via a narrow path) and is thus a rather tight plot.
The tower's belfry windows would have originally been subdivided by a mullion and two cusped heads (with a quatrefoil opening above) but at some repair long ago the tracery was removed leaving the single apertures we see now. The tower stonework has been repaired again since my last visit, further blurring the evidence of the window changes in losing a few more cusps.
The 15th century nave is a bright space lit by large Perpendicular windows, one of which contains fragments of medieval glass in it's traceries, whilst the remainder contain attractive early 20th century glass by Powell's. At the west end is a worn 14th century coffin lid with portrait bust and also a fine old font that appears to be a little earlier. The chancel beyond is clearly Victorian and replete with attractive stenciling on its walls, along with a handsome Arts & Crafts metal reredos.
The church is usually kept locked outside of services, but happily the key can be borrowed from the neighbouring Manor Farm Cafe (well worth a visit in its own right, as we have done many times!).
